General Errors in Reasoning Quesiton

Can someone please put in simpler terms what it means in an answer choice when it starts with "it takes for granted that..." I know what it means to take something for granted, but for some reason these answer choices always make me second guess myself when looking for the correct one.

Hi, I would interpret "takes for granted" to mean wrongly assumes. Most flaw questions are either asking us what the argument wrongly ignores or wrongly assumes. Wrongly ignores is often frames as "fails to consider" and wrongly assumes is frames as "takes for granted"
