assumendo connotazioni/le sembianze/prendendo la forma (di status quo)


Explanation:
cioè questi presupposti sono dati per scontati e dunque appaiono come lo status quo, come una situazione normale, come lo stato delle cose.

tra i vari significati di assume:
a. To take on (an appearance, role, or form, for example); adopt: "The god assumes a human form" (John Ruskin).
