An assignment? If so - you make the first suggestions; we can then advise.
To start you off, the first one is "came up".
And this site may give you a little guidance: http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary

I just had a little "chat" (discussion) with one of my teachers about that...coz the students had sumething different to the teacher....
n so I'd like to ask other ppl for their opinion....;-)

1...Excuse me, but I don't believe you.
2...I, for one, would be more inclined to help you if you used proper spelling.
3...In my opinion, the first one is 'came along'.
4...I agree with your teacher.

@1. What is it that you don't believe? That I discussed the thing with my teacher? That's what I do all the time, because I think that our teacher isn't that good at English.
@2. Sorry for the spelling. I'm trying to use the "proper spelling"
@3. I think it could either be came along or came up, So let's wait for other suggestions.
@4. .....

I am not quite clear - the list of answers you provided earlier were the correct ones according to your teacher?
If so, which ones do you and your friends not agree with and why not?
Re: phrasal verbs with "come"
We (or at least some of us) don't agree on the first one.
Some of us say it's came up, others think it's came along.
But if it's came up, where should they use come along.....and so on....
Re: phrasal verbs with "come"
Ok - so it is really only #1 that is the problem.
Despite what I said before, it can be argued that both "came up" and "came along" can be used in this sentence. "Came along" is in fact perfectly acceptable in this context and idiomatically good.
As there would not be an alternative use for "come along" in the sentences provided - in this instance, I think you will have to accept the teacher's direction.
I will be interested in other disagreements you have with your teacher8-)
