Answer 2

Answer :

This question is based on phrasal verbs.

Phrasal verb refers to a combination of a verb and a preposition and/or adverb such that the meaning of the phrasal verb is different from the meaning of the individual words in the phrase.

The correct sentences are :

1) The question came up during the last session of the Parliament.

2) The total expenses of a excursion came to a big sum.

'Come up' is a phrasal verb which means to be discussed.

'Come to' is a phrasal verb which means to reach a total sum while calculating expenses.
