He got out of the cab and ran to the dock, but unfortunately, the ferry had already left the quay.

Statement now: He "got" out of the cab and "ran" to the dock, but unfortunately, the ferry had already left the quay.

Any how, all words have almost equivalent annotations and utilities.

First option is chosen here because; in the second option, the words seem less relevant according to the need in the sentence. However, the word "got" and "ran," specifically signify the need of pacing in a task. They also illustrate that less thought was given to the sophistication of the action due to hurry. And, about the last two options, "hopped" and "jumped" require an open source, to be utilized for conveying some action, while the cab is a enclosed structure.
