Phrases and slurs often look alike in a piece.
A slur is the more common marking in pieces, where a curved line is under many notes in a row often multiple measures in length. It is meant to be played without using a tongue in a legato style.
A phrase mark looks very identical because they are both curved lines under many notes. However, phrase markings will show articulations under them like accents, legato marks, staccato marks, etc. Also, they show breathe marks afterward so you can breathe. Phrases are used to indicate a player should take any breathes while playing that particular section. Instead, the player should breathe in the indicated rests and breathe marks.

What is the pause at the end of a measure in music reading?
This would be a breath mark. If it looks something like ' at the top then yes this is a breath mark. If there isn't a breath mark, then it could be the end of a slur, that is to say, a set of notes played together with no space in between them. A slur has a mark like a curved line over the line of music notes. Also if there is neither a breath mark nor a slur, it could be what is referred to as the end of a "musical phrase" where the music sounds like it should naturally have a small space of silence. Hope this helped!
