Answer 2

Answer :

The given sentence 'Hawking following up his book, which offered a more illustrated guide to cosmology.' can be correctly rewritten in the following manner :

Hawking followed up his book, which offered a more illustrated guide to cosmology.

In this sentence, 'following up' will be replaced with the phrasal verb 'followed up.'

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.'

'Follow up' is a phrasal verb which, according to Macmillan Dictionary, means 'to try to find out more about something, or to do something more to deal with it.'
