JLPT N1Idioms

俎上に載せる

Meaning
議論や批評の対象として取り上げる
Explanation
「俎上(そじょう)に載せる」 means to take up some matter as an object of discussion or criticism. Like placing something on a cutting board (俎) to cook it, it is used in scenes of freely examining and commenting. c2 「役職に抜擢する」 (promote to a post) means to elevate a person, which differs from the core point of this question, namely "making something the object of commentary."
Original Japanese explanation

「俎上(そじょう)に載せる」は、ある事柄を議論や批評の対象として取り上げること。まな板(俎)の上に載せて料理するように、自由に検討・論評する場面で使う。c2「役職に抜擢する」は人を引き立てる意で、本問の核心である「論評の対象とする」とは異なる。
