✅ A caper is a lighthearted or frivolous activity, often a prank or an episode of silliness (We had to put a stop to her candy hiding capers).

✅ An escapade is a prank or generally reckless but lighthearted activity (Their youthful escapades were famous all over town).

✅ Both of these terms often refer to a childish or silly activity.

✅ Caper and escapade can also refer to illegal acts, but in a more lighthearted way (After that escapade with my cousins, I thought it best to lay low; I was reading about a caper committed by a cat burglar).

✅ Block means to obstruct something, generally with obstacles (The rock had blocked the mouth of the tunnel).

✅ Clog means to obstruct something, often with something thick, sticky, or built up over time (The debris clogged the pipes).

✅ Both of these words mean to obstruct a way or path (Water builds up in the tub if you clog the drain).

✅ Block sometimes suggests that a route has been obstructed on purpose (They blocked the roads for safety during the parade), whereas clog suggests an accident or negligence.

✅ Acclaimed means that someone has received a high level of praise or approval, particularly within their profession (an acclaimed photographer).

✅ Renowned means that someone is famous or celebrated, either in their profession or by the general public (I hired a renowned detective to solve the case).
