✅ Correct Option: 3
The blank needs an idiom meaning to practice what you preach or act according to your stated beliefs.Option 1 -> rule the roost -> means to be in charge or dominate, not about matching actions with words.Option 2 -> go around the bend -> means to go crazy or lose one's mind, unrelated to the context.Option 3 -> walk the talk -> means to act in accordance with what you say or believe, which fits perfectly.Option 4 -> read the lines -> means to understand the obvious meaning, not about taking action on beliefs.
When someone tells you to walk the talk, they're essentially saying "put your money where your mouth is." It means actually doing what you say you believe in, rather than just talking about it. If you constantly preach about environmental protection but drive a gas-guzzling car, you're definitely not walking the talk!
