Explanation:

- The passage describes a sequence of events in the morning, beginning with the radio turning on automatically to wake the protagonist.

- The task involves filling in the blanks with the most suitable words for each context.

- Blank 5: The context is about an elephant in the news. Let's evaluate the options:

- captured: This would imply the elephant was caught, which contradicts the context of it being on the news escaping.

- escaped: This word means to break free from confinement, perfectly fitting the scenario of an elephant getting out of a circus.

- absconded: This means to leave hurriedly and secretly, typically to avoid detection, which could fit, but is often used in a context of avoiding capture or detection, not very common for animals in a circus.

- released: This implies it was let go intentionally, which does not fit the scenario hinted at by the news story.

Correct Answer: Option 2 - escaped.
