Note: in the first sentence, the correct word is "aerial", not "serial".
Answer and Explanation:
A phrasal verb is an idiomatic phrase formed by a verb and a preposition, a verb and an adverb, or a combination of both. In the sentences we are re-ordering here, we have the following phrasal verbs:
act up --> to malfunction
ask over --> to invite to one's house
blow up --> to explode
break off --> to stop
bring up --> to raise
burst into --> to enter suddenly
bring in --> to introduce something new
bring out --> to produce
