-
Prince is a title for a male ruler or monarch.
-
Laughed is the past tense of the verb "laugh" which indicates the action of making sounds to express amusement.
-
Sprang is the past tense of the verb "spring" which indicates a sudden or swift movement.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The crowd jerked and laughed, but the young prince sprang to the gate with his face flushed."
