I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">take to task</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 scold that I've seen before include "quarrelsome woman of old?" , "Complaining woman" , "Rebuke; nagging woman" , "Rate" , "Upbraid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times and The New York Times.
