Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. narrow.

Context: The sentence implies that Vinod barely avoided harm in the accident, suggesting a close or lucky escape. We need to choose the correct adjective to describe the type of escape Vinod had in the car accident.

Analysis of the given options:

Comfortable: Giving physical ease; relaxed.
Full: Complete or entire.
Narrow: Close or barely successful; almost failing.
Wide: Broad; large in extent.

Correct word: Narrow

Reason: The phrase “narrow escape” is an idiomatic expression meaning to barely avoid danger or failure, which perfectly fits the context of a car accident.

Final Sentence: Vinod had a narrow escape in the car accident.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
