<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">avoid</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(eluding is a kind of avoiding)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">escape</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that escape can be written as elude)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>
