The correct answer is ran across

Key Points

  • 'Ran off' means 'to escape'. It is not the correct phrase for this sentence. So it needs to be replaced.
  • 'Run down' means 'to reduce' and it is not suitable for this sentence.
  • 'Make out' means 'to proceed' and it is not the correct option.
  • 'Run across' means 'to find by chance' and it is the correct alternative.

Hence option 1 is the answer.
