<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">position taken</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for stance that I've seen before include "position when batting" , "driver preparing to strike" , "Posture; point of view" , "Attitude (of body, mind)" , "Position of the body or an attitude" .)
