    Solution

    The phrasal verb ‘set off’ means ‘to cause an activity or event, often a series of events, to begin or happen’. Set up- to formally establish a new company, organization, system, way of working, etc. Set back something- to reduce something to a weaker or less advanced state. Set apart- If a quality or characteristic sets someone or something apart, it shows him, her, or it to be different from, and usually better than, others of the same type.
