Ok so I believe that skimming is just quickly reading through the passage to look for keywords through the text to get the general overview....but previewing is getting an idea of what the text is abt withought reading the main body of it. Hope this helps!
It would be "Himself", since in the sentence, is the hint "his kite take flight." Also reading it, it sounds like it's in the third person point of view, another hint.
Second-person point of view
To me , this means that the scene changed very quickly into something that is more meaningful and intriguing
C or A if the prisoner does it well and it works it would be A if he trys and fails it would be C
