Correct Answer: Just manage to avoid danger or trouble


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

The phrase "have a narrow escape" implies a situation where someone barely avoids a potential danger or trouble, emphasising a close call. The fourth option, "just manage to avoid danger or trouble", accurately captures this meaning as it reflects the idea that the person involved narrowly avoided a negative outcome.
