Hint: Here all the given options are adjectives, you have to choose the correct adjective from the given options. The adjective chosen ought to be grammatically correct and acceptable when used with the sentence.Continually build meanings of the sentences then select the right one.

Complete answer:
A word that modifies a noun or noun phrase or describes its referent is known as adjective and its semantic role is to change the information given by the noun.
A narrow escape means a situation in which you only just avoid danger, difficulties, or any trouble.

Let us analyse the given options:
Narrow :- “The passengers and crew members of the aeroplane had a narrow escape when it was taking off from the runway.” Thus, it is the correct option and is grammatically correct when used here.
Large :- “The passengers and crew members of the aeroplane had a large escape when it was taking off from the runway.” Thus, it is not correct and is grammatically incorrect when used here.
Little :- “The passengers and crew members of the aeroplane had a little escape when it was taking off from the runway. Thus, it is not correct and is grammatically incorrect when used here.
Brief :- “The passengers and crew members of the aeroplane had a brief escape when it was taking off from the runway.” Thus, it is not correct and is grammatically incorrect when used here.
Better :- “The passengers and crew members of the aeroplane had a better escape when it was taking off from the runway.” Thus, it is not correct and is grammatically incorrect when used here.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Adjectives don't have a singular and plural form or a masculine, feminine and neutral form. They are always the same!! Never add a final –s to them. They Can also be placed at the end of a sentence if they describe the subject of a sentence.
