Using context clues while reading is a technique that consists of looking at the surrounding information of an unknown word in order to infer the meaning of that word. There are many types of context clues, and the one that can be used to determine the meaning of <em>eluded</em> in the sentence is description: Geena escaped, and she eluded zookeepers for several hours until she was captured. So, by paying attention to the description of the actions, we can infer that <em>to elude</em> means to run away, to evade or to escape from someone or something that is going after you.
