Explanation:

1. Eliminate incorrect options:

• Option 1 is wrong: Andrzej is Rena's childhood friend, not a stranger.
• Option 2 is wrong: The text says Tylicz is unsafe for Rena, not safe.
• Option 4 is wrong: Andrzej refuses to take money from Rena's father.

1. The correct option matches the core events: Rena's father (Mr. Kornreich) asks Andrzej to take Rena to safety in Slovakia, and Andrzej agrees to help without payment.

Rena's father asks Andrzej to take her to safety in Slovakia, and he agrees to do so.
