We can’t _______________ everyone knows how to do this, so let’s set up some training.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Reading the sentence carefully, we have: 'We can’t ____________ everyone knows how to do this, so let’s set up some training.'

Without any provided answer options, we infer the most natural single word to complete the sentence is a verb that expresses doubting or challenging the assumption about others' knowledge. The appropriate verb here is 'assume': 'We can’t assume everyone knows how to do this, so let’s set up some training.'

Why 'assume' fits:
- Meaning: To suppose something to be true without sufficient evidence. In many workplace contexts, you should not assume all teammates know how to perform a task; training ensures a shared baseline of knowledge.
- Grammar: 'We can’t' followed by the base form 'assume' is correct usage for a verb in the infinitive sense after the contraction, as in 'We can’t [verb] everyone knows how to do this' where the intended structure is 'We can’t assume that everyone knows how to do this.' The sentence implicitly includes 'that.'

Why an alternative (if considered) might be less appropriate:
- If someone suggested 'We can’t ensure everyone knows how to do this…' that would shift meaning toward guaranteeing knowledge rather than acknowledging a lack of certainty, and it also grammatically changes the nuance of the sentence.
- If someone suggested 'We can’t expect everyone knows how to do this…' that would be grammatically off (should be 'everyone knows' vs 'everyone knows' doesn’t align well with the intended contraction); plus it changes emphasis to expectation rather than uncertainty.

In summary, the most coherent and natural completion is 'assume,' yielding a sentence that communicates the need for training because not everyone may know how to perform the task. If any other candidate were provided, we would compare based on meaning (certainty vs. uncertainty), grammar (tense and subject-verb agreement), and the overall intent of scheduling training to establish a common foundation.
