Hi,

I really don't want to take .......... .

The key is: a long time

I've come across this question on the Internet but could not understand what the sentence means.

Thanks.

Which part don't you understand? Maybe this dialogue will help:

John: How long do you want take choosing your clothes for the party tonight?
Jane: I really don't want to take a long time. Shout at me if I take longer than 20 minutes choosing an outfit!
John: Ha ha! OK, I will!
