Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: narrow.
A narrow escape is a close call, where someone is almost killed or injured. In this case, the passengers and crew members of the aeroplane almost died when it was taking off from the runaway.
The other options are not correct because:
- Large escape: This would mean that the passengers and crew members had a lot of time to escape, which is not the case.
- Little escape: This would mean that the passengers and crew members almost did not escape, which is also not the case.
- Brief escape: This would mean that the passengers and crew members only escaped for a short time, which is not the case.
- Better escape: This would mean that the passengers and crew members escaped more easily than they could have, which is not the case.
