Question

i took a chance and assumed that i would get an a on the project, so i didnt spend a lot of time working on it; unfortunately, i got a d. what does the word that contains the stem probably mean? ○ to take something from someone ○ taken for granted ○ to take a breath and get yourself together

Explanation:

The sentence says the person assumed they'd get an A and didn't work much, then got a D. The word with the stem (likely "assumed" or related to "take for granted") fits "taken for granted" as it means assuming something will happen without proper consideration, matching the context of assuming an A without working hard. The other options don't fit: "to take something from someone" is about stealing/taking, and "to take a breath..." is about calming down, not related to the context.

Answer:

B. taken for granted
