A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, followed again by \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, and so on. Each step is \(1\) m long and requires \(1\) s. There is a pit on the road \(13\) m away from the starting point. The drunkard will fall into the pit after:
1. \(37\) s
2. \(31\) s
3. \(29\) s
4. \(33\) s
