I was walking to the nearest phone booth to call the landlady, when I heard that kettle's horrific scream behind me.
In this first example, the author has used personification (giving human characteristics to an inanimate object) to describe the kettle as "screaming."

Options 1, 2, and 3 emphasizes the object('the skyscraper visit', 'the museum', and 'those works of art') instead of the subject which implies that they are the recipient of the action. Thus, only option 4 contains the subject 'we' that is performing the action 'watched' rather then receiving it. Therefore, <u>option 4</u> is the correct answer.
