Take out selected passage (7)
I believe the answer is:
extract
I believe this is a double definition.
'take out' is the first definition.
(I know that take out can be written as extract)
'selected passage' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for extract that I've seen before include "Pull or take out - maybe a tooth" , "Part" , "short passage from a book" , "Separate, in a mining sense" , "Cutting" .)
