Explanation
You need two words that mean “to walk around in a showing-off sort of way.” Both gallivant and traipse indicate this kind of carefree walking. Sprint is a trap answer — you certainly don’t have any sense that the student was running very fast.
Hence options gallivant, traipse are correct!
