题目

关于take it for granted要不要it的问题.
牛津高阶英汉双解词典grant有一词组：take sth for granted,当它作为认为某事属实讲时,有个例句：
I take it for granted you have read this book.我认为你一定读过这本书.
这里you have read this book到底是不是个从句啊?就算是从句,且是同位语从句,就缺少that,我想到这个问题是因为有一道改错题,这样一句：We take it for granted the two most common forms of transmission——by means of sounds and by visual signs.这个句子应该把it去掉,后面的部分是宾语.但为什么上面那个句子就可以保留it呢?我知道这两个句子取自take sth for granted的两个不同的词义,但是英语句子在结构上还是可以类比的吧?
