1 down: 'To feel down' is to feel depressed or unhappy. 'Down' can be used to indicate movement towards the bottom or ground, both literally and figuratively. Susie is encouraging Philip not to feel bad about his missed sale.
1 up: Although 'up' is grammatically correct here, it does not make any sense given the context of the phrase. Philip would not feel 'up' if he missed the chance to make a sale.
2 up: To 'cheer someone up' is to try to boost or stimulate their morale, or to try to make them feel positive. Here 'up' is used figuratively to indicate the movement or transition of someone's feelings or emotions from a low point to a high point.
2 down: There is no such expression in English.
3 up: 'To give up' means to 'quit' or 'stop' or even to surrender or capitulate. Susie is encouraging Philip to continue making phone calls and to try to sell. 'Don't give up' is synonymous with 'Keep trying' in this context. 'Up' is used here to indicate a sense of completion or finality, or an action ending.
3 down: There is no such expression in English.
4 down: To go 'down south' is to descend (geographically) in a southern direction. 'Down' is used here to indicate movement towards a southern location.
4 up: Going 'up south' is contradictory. It doesn't make sense to use 'up' here.

2 up: ‘To break up’ is an expression used to indicate the act of ending a relationship.
2 down: While ‘to break down’ is a phrase in English, it doesn’t work here. ‘To break down’ signifies a machine or motor vehicle malfunction, chemical decomposition, or separating an idea or statement into smaller parts in order to make it easier to understand.
3 down: ‘To lie down’ is an expression that describes reclining to a resting or stretched out position, frequently on a bed or sofa. Ex: "I was tired so I lay down to take a nap."

Choose the word or phrase which might replace "speak up" in a more informal conversation.
Choose the word or phrase which might replace "speak up" in a more informal conversation.
Trey does not ask the caller to "shut up". The imperative command "shut up" is an impolite way to tell someone to stop talking or to be quiet. Trey is a caring and sensitive man and a real "people person". He would never tell someone to "shut up"!
The expression "cheer up" is a request to be "more happy". We often hear "cheer up" when we are sad or in a bad mood. This is not what Trey asks the caller to do here.
The imperative request to "speak up" means "speak more loudly". It can also mean to "talk freely without fear or hesitation". For example: A teacher may say to a child "speak up boy!" if they are speaking incoherently. Trey is finding it hard to hear the caller so he asks him to "speak up". "To shout" is to speak loudly, and in the imperative it can be used to tell someone to "speak up". "Shout" shouldn't be used as a command in a formal conversation.
To "sound off" means to express one's views or opinions vigorously or strongly. Example: The voters sounded off by voting out the incumbent prime minister in the election.
