3. Upright bi-pedal locomotion should not be attempted until one has mastered the skill of quadrupedal locomotion in close proximity to the ground.

Answer: Don't try to walk before you can crawl.

"Don't try to walk before you can crawl" means one shouldn't attempt the final step of a project before completing the steps leading to the final one. Too many bad things could happen. You can't just hop into an airplane and fly it. You first must learn how to operate all the controls.

4. A very attractive item remains attractive and is blissful past the end of all time.

Answer: A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

"A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever" is the title of an 1818 poem by John Keats. It is a poem about the Greek myth of Endymion who was a shepherd loved by Selene, the (Goddess of the Moon).

5. The toiling of an adult female continues without end.

Answer: A woman's work is never done.

8. A person cannot opt for various things or items if that person is one who pleads for charity.

Answer: Beggars can't be choosers.

"Beggars can't be choosers" means that if you are destitute, you shouldn't be picky about the things people give you out of the goodness of their hearts. You should just accept them and be thankful.

9. We shall continue our march over the man-made arched construction that spans across and above the water as soon as its proximity is near to us.

Answer: We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it" means that it makes no sense to worry about something that hasn't occurred yet or won't occur until sometime in the future.

10. The disclosure of the facts of a story can never be uttered by deceased adult male Homo sapiens.
