Choose the sentence that uses past tense for events that occurred in the story.

Past tense is used to describe events that already happened in the story. The sentence that fits uses past tense for both actions: ran and found. This shows a finished sequence—the hero did these things in the past. The other options mix tenses (one uses present tense runs/finds, and another mixes past with present), which breaks the timeline of events. So the sentence with ran and found is the one that correctly uses past tense for events that occurred.
