Which term is the verb meaning 'to escape notice; to get away from'?

• A. Elude
• B. Assertion
• C. Futile
• D. Innocuous

Answer: (A)

The verb here means to escape notice or get away from, and the word that fits best is elude. It conveys avoiding detection, capture, or being noticed, often through skill or cleverness. You can say someone managed to elude the guards or to elude suspicion.

The other words don’t fit because assertion is a noun meaning a confident claim; futile is an adjective meaning useless or unable to achieve the result; innocuous is an adjective meaning harmless. They don’t express the idea of escaping notice.
