Explanation
Escape means to get away from a place, person, or situation that is dangerous, unpleasant, or boring. For example, someone may escape from a room, a storm, or a stressful task. Escape can also describe avoiding a problem or responsibility. In stories, real heroes don’t escape from difficulties; they face it. It can also mean letting out something, like gas or water escaping from a container. Escape shows leaving or avoiding something harmful, scary, or unwanted, and it can be physical (running away) or figurative (avoiding stress or trouble).
