Look before you leap

Think carefully of the consequences

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "Look before you leap" is (☀) Think carefully of the consequences.

This idiom means to carefully consider the possible outcomes of an action before taking it. It is a warning against acting rashly or impulsively.

The other options are not as appropriate because they do not convey the same meaning.

• Prepare yourself before jumping is more literal and does not have the same metaphorical meaning of considering the consequences.
• Caution others before taking a step is more about warning others of danger than considering the consequences of your own actions.
• Pull someone out from a disaster is about rescuing someone from harm, not about avoiding harm in the first place.
