Verbs go with "Responsibility" I have already known the phrase "Take" responsibility.
But in my English exercise, I have to choose between "Bear" and "Carry":
I wouldn't like to be a manager. You have to bear/carry a lot of responsibility.
Which word is correct? Or both?
I hope to receive answers from you soon.
Thanks.

Teacher Re: Verbs go with "Responsibility" Both are possible.
responsibility - definition of responsibility by Macmillan DictionaryContext is always important; labelling is rarely important.

Threadstarter / Original Poster Re: Verbs go with "Responsibility" I can't find the verb "carry" in the link you gave me. Can you tell me some more about it? If both are possible, which is used in speaking/writing more often?
