Deal with the type to be excluded? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
sort out
'deal with' is the definition.
(to sort out is to take care of or deal with)
'type to be excluded?' is the wordplay.
'type' becomes 'sort' (both can mean a kind or variety).
'to be excluded?' becomes 'out' (I've seen this before).
'sort'+'out'='SORT OUT'
'the' is the link.
(Other definitions for sort out that I've seen before include "Arrange" , "Select from others or informally punish" , "Resolve - to put in order" , "Resolve (a problem)" , "handle" .)
