Verbal Ability - Idioms and Phrases - Discussion

I'm sorry but that explanation does not make sense. In my view, to be the question means the matter which needs to be discussed, or pondered upon.

Example: The real question is, can we accomplish this task in 5 days?

The promises of our politicians sound tempting, and their ideas Utopian, but the question is: will they be able to deliver on these promises if they form the government?

Another example: Shakespeare's eloquent words from Hamlet- to be or not to be, that is the question.

This clearly focuses on the age old question or thought (or whatever else may we call it) of mans very existence- life and death at man has always looked for an answer to.

I believe this single expression gives all the clues required for us to reach the conclusion that the answer is indeed 'to discuss. '.

It is NOT something you take for granted, but the crux of the matter and the actual subject that needs to be discussed.

It should mean avoiding the question ("to improperly take for granted"), when used in the original sense: a type of logical fallacy in which the proposition to be proved is assumed implicitly or explicitly in the premise. Begs the question: (petitio principii, " assuming the initial point").

@Shrungar.

'Can we accomplish this task in 5 days?' is an objection to the belief of completing the said task in 5 days.

'Will they be able to deliver on these promises if they form the government?' is a question of objection to their promises.

Thus, 'C' turns to be the correct answer.

To take the idea for granted. That means the fact/answer is so true that it will be valid in all the situation, and you will take that fact/answer for granted. Once you take the answer for granted, you are now inquiring the question unnecessarily.

TO BEG THE QUESTION, not to be the question.

Begging the Question is a fallacy in which the premises include the claim that the conclusion is true or (directly or indirectly) assume that the conclusion is true.

Take for granted or assume the truth of the very thing being questioned. For example, Shopping now for a dress to wear to the ceremony is really begging the question she hasn't been invited yet.

Take for granted or assume the truth of the very thing being questioned. For example, Shopping now for a dress to wear to the ceremony is really begging the question-she hasn't been invited yet.

I believe it should be D. To Be Discussed.

A sentence example is "The other key question that begs to be answered is: what is valuable in Yahoo to buy?".

To be a question means.

Something (some question) you don't know and even then you don't ask,

You let it be a question.

i.e., You take it for granted.

Here "to be the question" indicates the person himself is the question and he thinks that he don't have an answer and takes for granted.
