Select the option that connects the following sentences with the correct adverb clause.
Fools rush in. Angels fear to tread.
Answer: B
The correct sentence is 'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread', which is the well-known proverb, with 'where' as the adverb clause of place. 'If', 'as' and 'before' give a condition, a reason or a time, and none of these is in the proverb. It is a proverb from Pope's Essay on Criticism, 'For fools rush in where angels fear to tread', and the clause with 'where' is an adverb clause of place. A clause with 'if' would make the second sentence a condition, 'as' would give a reason and 'before' a time, none of which suits the saying.
