Step-by-step explanation:
The phrase "to walk in someone's shoes" or "to put oneself in someone's shoes" from Joshua Foer's TED Talk means to empathize with someone, to understand their experiences, challenges, or perspectives by imagining yourself in their position. Among the given options, the correct answer is B) Step into. This metaphorical expression asks us to consider what life is like for another person. For example, "Before you judge his actions, try to put yourself in his shoes and imagine how you would react in that situation."
Looking at the provided references, none of them directly illustrate this idiom. The sentence "I went across the road and bought a pair of shoes" could be mistakenly chosen due to the literal mention of shoes, but it does not carry the intended meaning of the idiom. Similarly, the other sentences provided do not link to the concept of empathy or understanding someone else's situation.
