Correct Answer:

Imitate others

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "take a leaf out of one's book" is to imitate others. The idiom comes from the idea of copying something that someone else has done. In a figurative sense, to take a leaf out of someone's book means to copy or follow their example.

The other options are not as accurate descriptions of the meaning of the idiom. Between two dangers is not the same as taking a leaf out of someone's book. Dwell on the same subject is not the same as taking a leaf out of someone's book. Free from difficulties and dangers is not typically associated with the idiom "taking a leaf out of someone's book."
