Thank you, Ms. Sue.

You're welcome, Brady.

To check your answer, let's first understand the meaning of the aphorism. "Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread" means that reckless or foolish people often go into dangerous or risky situations without considering the consequences, whereas wise or cautious individuals avoid these situations because they know how dangerous they can be.

Now let's look at the options:

A. Angels and fools are never seen together - This option does not directly convey the meaning of the aphorism. It suggests that angels and fools never coexist, which is not the intended meaning.

B. When angels know to stay clear, fools come rushing in - This option accurately captures the meaning of the aphorism. It signifies that while angels understand the need to stay away from risky situations, fools foolishly enter them.

C. Angels walk but fools rush in - This option also accurately conveys the meaning of the aphorism, highlighting the contrast between the cautiousness of angels and the impulsive behavior of fools.

Both options B and C are correctly aligned with the meaning of the aphorism, but to determine which one is the best expression of the meaning, we need to consider the original wording. In this case, option C, "Angels walk but fools rush in," is closer to the original aphorism ("Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread") as it maintains the parallelism of the action verbs "walk" and "rush."

Therefore, based on these considerations, the correct answer is C.
