Take responsibility, as Jack & Jill failed to do? (5,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
carry the can
'take responsibility as jack jill failed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'do?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'do?' could be 'carry' (carrying is a kind of doing) and 'carry' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carry the can that I've seen before include "Take responsibility for misdemeanour" , "Take responsibility (for mistake) (colloq.)" , "accept responsibility for" , "Take responsibility for a misdeed" , "Take the blame" .)
