... to do something "as" the next part of an activity or period of development
follow (sth) through phrasal verb [M] to do something as the next part of an activity or period of development The essay started interestingly, but failed to follow through (its argument).
I wonder what exactly 'as' means in this context. There seem to be so many meanings for the word.
Thank you
