Correct Answer: flee
Explanation
Given data

Concept/ApproachCompare meanings: three mean to evade/avoid something (often momentarily); one means to run away entirely.
Step-by-Step reasoning Dodge – to move aside to avoid. Duck – to lower quickly to avoid. Avoid – to keep away from. Flee – to run away/escape from a place or danger (stronger, implies leaving the scene).
Verification/AlternativeUse in sentences: you can dodge/duck/avoid a blow; you typically flee from a threat or location.
Common pitfalls
