Hi,

I am feeling too tired to drive any more;will you take over.

In the above sentence the phrasel verb 'take over' seems to be more appropriate as it expresses control to run something.

Thanks

You are correct, and "take up" is wrong.

If you take over a task, you start doing the task and the other person stops. Therefore, "take over" is correct, regardless of what the answer key says.
