• A questão não sublinhou os verbos que precisam ser substituídos pelo phrasal verbs, leia-se:

  “We had to cancel (1) the search because of worsening weather conditions. But we will not stop trying (2). We will continue the (3) rescue as soon as the weather gets better.”

  Alternativa correta "A".

  "We had to cancel", pode ser substituído por call off = cancelar/revogar;

  "Stop trying", pode ser substituído por give up = desistir

  "Continue", pode ser substituído por keep on = continuar, permanecer.

  Espero ter ajudado.
