for my money, I will say that, it is children that somebody looks after. since it's a duty, take over should be the correct answer

Yea very correct, bcus d Principal is not goin forever, on that effect d vice can look after d school until d Principal returns

I'm writing to report an error in a practice question. The question states that a vice president will "look after" the school while the principal is on leave, but the correct phrasal verb should be "take over." In a professional context, "take over" refers to assuming authority and management duties, whereas "look after" usually refers to physical care or maintenance. Please update the answer key to "take over" to ensure the material is accurate for students.

The app is actually wrong. The correct answer should be "take over." In a professional setting, you "take over" the duties or authority of a principal. You "look after" a house or a pet, but you "take over" a job or a position. Don't let the glitch confuse you

this is very wrong, because it a dutie and not a work that you just come to inspect and go. to CARRY ON means to continue a work.ie the work of a principal in my absence.

since the principal is just going on leave and not quiting his position permanently the vice can look after the school until the president resume and not to take over, so the answer is absolutely correct.
