I agree with the usage of the phrase "take out" in:
1. "take out a loan"
2. "take out an ad"
3. "take out an arrest warrant"
But then, I found this on the web:
4. "take out a police report"
which I disagree with. A loan, ad, and arrest warrant all have an effect (burrowing money, advertising a product, getting authorization for arrest) . But a police report doesn't have an effect; it is just a list of "facts". But if sentence 4 is allowed, then could I write this:
5. "take out a blood analysis report"
after my blood is drawn in doctor's visit?
