    Solution

    The phrasal verb ‘call off’ means ‘to decide that a planned event, especially a sports event, will not happen, or to end an activity because it is no longer useful or possible’. The phrasal verb ‘bring about’ means ‘to cause something to happen’. In response, the unions brought about the mass memorial service that was originally scheduled last year.
