phrasal verbs mix - came up with; set up; join in Thu Aug 23, 2007 23:58 pm  phrasal verbs mix - came up with; set up; join in
 

Hi again,

Sentences
-s1- He has ____ a business that sells technical support on the internet

Issues
-i1- I understand that the meaning of the next phrasal verbs are:
came up with = to suggest (for example a new idea, os business)
set up = to create, to prepare
join in = to participate
Please take a look to these meanins in case they are wrong and share comments
-i2- which one fits better in s1. Are the rest incorrect in case of being used?

One more time ... thanks in advance !!
jon

.
'Set up' is the answer. We 'come up with' relatively simple ideas, not businesses. We do not 'join in a business'; we 'join a company'.
