To beg the question

A. To refer to

B. To take for granted

C. To raise objections

D. To be discussed

E. None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct answer is B: To take for granted.

Here's why:
The idiom "to beg the question" doesn't mean "to ask a question".
It actually means to assume something is true without providing evidence for it.
Think of it as assuming the very thing you're trying to prove, like a circular argument.

Let's look at the other options:
A: To refer to - This doesn't relate to the meaning of the idiom.
C: To raise objections - While begging the question can lead to objections, it's not the definition itself.
D: To be discussed - Something "to be discussed" isn't necessarily related to assuming something without proof.
E: None of these - Is incorrect because B is the correct answer.

Therefore, the best fit is "To take for granted" because it accurately describes the action of assuming something to be true without proper justification.

    It should be raising objection or concerns , like 'chocolate is good but it begs the question how it harms our health.'
