    Solution

    The phrasal verb ‘call after’ means ‘Give a newborn baby the same name as someone else.’ The correct phrasal verb is ‘called off’, which means ‘to decide that a planned event will not happen, or to end an activity because it is no longer useful or possible’. In response, the unions called off the mass memorial service that was originally scheduled last year.
