56 mins confidence:
defer to/bow to/take our cue from the market Explanation: These three options let you keep the negative adverb in English (... enable us not to defer/mean we do not have to defer). Solutions such as "enable us to withstand" would require removal of the negative, which is a pity because it is in capitals in the original. |
