Contrast

Answer 1

In the sentence, the word "eluded" is underlined. To determine its meaning, you can use the context clue of contrast. The fact that Geena the giraffe was able to elude the zookeepers for several hours suggests that the giraffe successfully avoided or evaded them, which is the opposite or in contrast to what the zookeepers intended.
