Kevin: That was really fun! We should do it again soon. Why don’t you write my number?
Luna: It’s ok, I’ll look it on the internet!
Kevin: Great. Next time I hope we find the bar.

1 down: ‘Down’ is the correct answer here. It makes sense here because by saying that the bar is in the basement, he is implying that it is on a lower floor.
1 up: The fact that Kevin is referring to a basement implies that they are already on a higher level.
2 up: We know that ‘up’ is the correct answer here because Luna implies that they need to take the elevator to the top floor. ‘Up’ here is used in one of its primary senses: to indicate movement towards an elevated position or to the top of a place.
2 down: Luna is already implying that they are on a lower floor, therefore they have to go ‘up’ to reach the top floor.
3 down: To 'write (something) ‘down' describes the act of writing something (on a piece of paper). Here Kevin is asking Luna to write a telephone number on a piece of paper for him. 'Down' is often used to with verbs to indicate the act or transferring information to paper. Other examples are to 'take down' or to 'jot down'.
3 up: Although the expression 'to write something up' does exist, it does not make sense in this construction. To 'write something up' means to write a full, neat version of something that was previously written in note form. 'To write up' is also used idiomatically to describe the act of giving an infraction (such as a traffic ticket) to someone.
4 up: To 'look (something) up' describes the act of retrieving information from a database, directory or reference book. Luna tells Kevin she will find the number using the internet. Although this use of the post position 'up' doesn't necessarily relate to any of the principal uses of 'up', 'to look up' is one of the most common phrasal verbs in English, and should be memorized.
4 down: The expression to 'look something down' does not exist in English.
