ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Reject the takeoff if the powerplant failure occurs prior to becoming airborne (ASEL, ASES).

Bottom line

During the takeoff roll, the pilot flying (pilot-in-command) makes the decision to continue or reject a takeoff for any reason. In the before-takeoff briefing, the pilot states that the takeoff will be rejected for engine failure below VR, applying appropriate braking and stopping ahead. A decision to reject a takeoff requires immediate retarding of thrust levers.
