Best Answer

prevent is where you take action against something, whereas avoid is where you usually just physically move away from that thing. an example is you are scared of something, like an insect. one day, you see some wasps, for example, so you avoid them by keeping a large distance between you and them. However, you could prevent them from getting to you by using some form of deterrent or by creating a barrier.
