Answer:
elude
Step-by-step explanation:
So, by process of elimination, let's go:
adapt means to change or "bend" to a different or change in one's environment, so that's not it
aggress means basically means to get violent, which isn't hinted at, so that's also a no
cope means to deal with or tolerate something, so that's also not it
So elude is the only one left
Further, according to Go.ogle, elude means "evade or escape from (a danger, enemy, or pursuer)" which is basically what the sentence said
hope this helps:)
