Doesn't just assume (4)
I believe the answer is:
asks
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">doesn't just assume</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for asks that I've seen before include "Poses a question" , "Begs" , "Demands (something of someone)" , "Solicits" , "Enquires; requests" .)
