Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The underlined part needs to be replaced with the correct phrasal verb.
Come up with: to suggest, invent, or think of an idea, plan, or solution. This perfectly fits the context of thinking of a "brilliant idea."

Come across: to meet or find someone or something by chance.

Come over: to visit someone at their house.

Therefore, "up with" is the correct substitution, making the phrase "come up with a brilliant idea".
