What does take mean?
On a TV program, an immigration officer said to an immigrant as follows:
C1: Take four of your fingers and put ’em on the pad.
The pad was an electronic device which had a glass plate on its top and was about seven inches deep, five inches wide, and five inches tall. The immigration officer wanted the immigrant to put four of his fingers on the glass plate. I thought the device would get fingerprints by using light.
What motion or action does “take” of C1 mean?
