<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">takes</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(accepting is a kind of taking)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for accepts that I've seen before include "Takes (an offer)" , "Admits" , "Believes" , "Receives" , "Takes on board" .)
