took the day off = didn't go to work that day

took too much work on = agreed to do more work than was possible (time or ability or??)

They discounted the item by 20%.

to get them off = to send them on their way

fuel is taken on = fuel is put into the fuel tanks

trainer ... and invites new athletes to join the team

take on = let others get on (the bus or whatever)

7, 8, 9 = OK
