Q. At what point do you take the situation to your boss?

He assured me that they took the situation very seriously.

He would make grand efforts to get the people worked up, to encourage them to take the situation into their own hands.

It's absurd when people say, "You have to use just that much more force to take the situation under control."

Take the situation here at present as a shining example.

This done, we took the situation into our serious consideration.

If they were, he could have taken the situation in stride.

"Every nation wants only its own national armed forces in the country but one should take into account the whole international situation," he said.

It is time for us, too, to take the situation in hand.

I think we are still at the stage where we're taking the situation into hand, but it's struggling to get away from us.
