      The phrasal verb ‘catch up’ means ‘to reach the same quality or standard as someone or something else’. Blow up- to become suddenly very angry. Give up- to stop trying to guess. Take up- to begin to do something. Like many in Russia, she blamed the country's failings on futile attempts to catch up with the West.
