Correct Answer: Jerred


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

The correct spelling is "jerked", not "jerred". Jerked is the past tense of the verb jerk , which means to move suddenly or sharply.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • 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."
