The phrasal verb ‘hold out’ means ‘to continue to defend yourself against an enemy or attack without being defeated’. Back down- withdraw a claim or assertion in the face of opposition. Give up- to stop trying to guess. Give out- to last no longer, or to work no longer. Back up- to gradually collect or gather in one place, esp. traffic or a liquid.
