Since there is only a brief mention of the tall figure in the excerpt, it is safe to say this is probably not the best answer.
Answer 2 seems a bit more likely because by describing the chase, a thrilling tone and suspense is created, like the answer implies. This answer can stay in the running.
Answer 3 seems improbable since it is the prince that has died in this excerpt--we're told this in the first sentence.
Answer 4, much like the second answer, is a good choice because the language used in the excerpt does do a good job of creating an energized tone.
However, when we look at the overall story itself, we see that the story is not an energetic one, but a terrifying one that excites and thrills as you read through it. Because of this, answer 2 is your best choice here.
