For me, the answer is “hightail” because it makes sense.

By the way, my teacher, is it correct to use “for me” or the correct is “to me”? I’m not confident about it. If possible, could you help me. Thanks.

Yes, ‘hightail’ is correct here and you can say ‘in my opinion’ or ‘I think’. Here is more on ‘to me’ vs. ‘for me’:

clear to me v.s. clear for me

Hi, When you want to tell somebody that you understand something, what turn of phrase would you pick: The matter is clear to me The matter is clear for me Thank you in advance !
