In order for us to answer this question correctly, we need to look at the context of it and use context clues to guess the missing vocabulary accurately. In this sense, context clues are hints, within a sentence or paragraph, that allows us as readers to glimpse the main idea in the sentence and thus choose the best options to complete it. In this case, we are being asked to describe an action, and with the words that are present in the sentece already, we must try to gather the mood and the tone of it, to correctly choose the verbs to use. In essence, this sentence shows a tone of urgency, almost desperation, of someone who needed to reach the dock quickly, but cannot finally do so. As such, the correct choices to complete this sentence would be: jumped and raced because aside from conveying the urgency of the action, they are also the most accurate to describe the action correctly.
