Each of the following sentences in this section has a blank space and is followed by four choices. Select the most appropriate choice to fill in the blank.
The criminal on the run managed to _______ capture by the police officer.

Correct option is B

"Evade" means to escape or avoid, especially in a skillful or cunning way. It is used correctly here as a verb that describes the criminal's action of avoiding capture by the police. "Evade" fits the sentence structure and meaning more accurately than alternatives like "invade" or "slip," which either do not fit the context or do not convey the right action.
