Answer: had escaped
Student Choice, Answer with ExplanationExplanation: When two actions are completed in the past, the first action is in the past perfect tense, and the second is in the past indefinite tense.

In the above sentence, the event of escaping happened first, so the correct answer would be “had escaped.”
