Explanation:

La lectura dice que tras el descubrimiento de oro, la noticia se extendió rápidamente y alrededor de 100,000 personas corrieron hacia la zona. Esto sugiere que la noticia generó entusiasmo y expectativa, por lo que la emoción más probable es "excited" (emocionado). Las otras opciones (desapointed, confused, frightened) no encajan con la reacción de la gente a un descubrimiento de oro que atrajo a miles.

Answer:

B. excited
