Q: You will be given a context and a verb separated with a newline character. You have to identify if the given verb implies an opinion, an intention, a wish or not. Please note that a verb refers to an intention only if it refers to an event planned to happen in the future and is not conditional (or part of a condition). The output should be: 'Yes' if the verb refers to an opinion, an intention, or a wish; and 'No' otherwise.

Verb: avoid
A:
Yes
