It didn't happen all at once, but before long the business really began to ----, and they started to
make a profit.
A) look back B) take up C) point out D) keep on E) try out
Well, it has been quoted from a nationwide exam in Turkey. The official answer is B, but I don't think "take up" means "to be successful, begin to improve". What do you think?
Maybe it's a common expression in Turkey, but you're right, in English "take up" does not have this meaning. In English, one would say "take OFF."

Yep. I'd go with "take off" too.
