Based on this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," what is the contextual meaning of the phrase "take up"? "Ah,

yes," the major said. "Why, then, do you not take up the use of grammar?" So we took up the use of grammar, and soon Italian was such a difficult language that I was afraid to talk to him until I had the grammar straight in my mind.

Answer:

The contextual meaning of the phrase "take up" in the story will mean the actual practice and use of grammar in speaking Italian.

Explanation:

To take up something basically means to try to practice, put into practice and use or do it in action anything, the thing being taken up. It is a phrasal verb that implies the start and use of anything.

<em>For example, to take up tennis means to practice and start playing tennis.</em>

Likewise, when the major said "to take up the use of grammar", he means that he should actually put into practice and start using and learning grammar.

pshichka [43]
<span>Immediacy is the ability of the counsellor/helper to use the immediate situation to invite the client to look at what is going on between them in the relationship. It often feels risky and unfamiliar. It implies the use of the present tense. It is one of the most powerful skills in counselling.
</span>
<span>In its fullest use, immediacy involves:
</span>
<span>• revealing how you are feeling/thinking/sensing;
</span>• sharing a hunch or sense of what the client (or helpee) may be feeling/thinking/sensing here and now (and possibly linking this to the client’s issue);
<span>• inviting the client/helpee to explore what is going on between you.</span>
