Match the pictures to phrasal verbs

Phrasal verbs are made up off a verb and a preposition. Fill in the correct preposition:

(The 3rd paragraph is on the next slide).

When I set__ for work this morning, my car broke __ so I ended __ taking the bus. As soon as I got __, I bumped __ an old schoolmate, Mark. While we were talking, he brought __ something that I had already found __ from some mutual friends - that he had come __ some money and had set __ his own business. He told that there was a lot to sort , and offered to take me __, but I turned him __ straight away.

When I clocked __, my boss had a go __ me, telling me __ in front of everyone. When I got __ the initial shock, I told her I'd make up __being late, but it turned __ that she had blown __ over a deal that had fallen __, after a client of mine had pulled __  __ a contract. She told me that I wouldn't get away __ it, that I'd let everybody __ and just went __ and on.

Eventually, I ran __ __ patience and answered __ - I said I was not going to put __ __ it anymore, and if she wanted to lay me __, she should go __. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I stormed __, phoned Mark's secretary, who put me __ to him. I told Mark I'd like to take him __ on his offer. So, in the end, everything has worked __ perfectly!
