Answer :
This question is based on phrasal verbs.
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'phrasal verb' as 'a phrase that consists of a verb with a preposition or adverb or both, the meaning of which is different from the meaning of its separate parts.'
The correct sentences are :
1. Each lesson is broken down into several units.
'Break down' is a phrasal verb which, according to the Cambridge English Dictionary, means 'to separate, or to separate something, into smaller parts.'
2. Our neighbors came forward to help us in our difficulties.
'Come forward' is a phrasal verb which, according to the Cambridge English Dictionary, means 'to offer to give help or information.'
3. You can insure your gold against theft.
'Insure against something' is a phrasal verb which, according to the Cambridge English Dictionary, means 'to do something in order to prevent something unpleasant from happening or from affecting you.'
4.He was relieved of his duties as office assistant.
'Relieve of' is a phrasal verb which, according to Macmillan Dictionary, means '[relieve someone of something] FORMAL to take a responsibility or obligation from someone so that they do not have to do it.'
5. Students need heroes to look up to.
'Look up to somebody' is a phrasal verb which, according to the Cambridge English Dictionary means 'to admire and respect someone.'
