    Solution

    The expression ‘take something with a pinch of salt’ means ‘to not completely believe something that you are told, because you think it is unlikely to be true.’ Embody- to have and show particular qualities or ideas; represent. Implication- the conclusion that can be drawn from something although it is not explicitly stated. Haven- the safest place.
