I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'take exception to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for object that I've seen before include "offer in opposition" , "Thing; demur" , "Aim - to argue against - something" , "oppose" , "Idea" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
