The culprit is the space before \end{figure} which should start from
the first column and no space is allowed before it. Since endfloat
package is in use, TeX will look for '\end{figure}' as soon as a
'\begin{figure}' is encountered. As you will agree, '\end{figure}' and
' \end{figure}' are not the same, TeX interprets that the figure
environment doesn't end at all, so it emits a runaway argument error.
By removing the space before '\end{figure}' it runs smoothly as you
would expect.
