Explanation:

In the excerpt, Marcellus tells Horatio (a scholar) to speak to the ghost, and Horatio responds with "Most like: it harrows me with fear and wonder." The fact that others look to Horatio (a scholar) to address the ghost shows he is respected. "Bored" is incorrect as the situation is eerie. "Scared" is partially true (he has fear) but the key is others' respect for his scholarly ability to engage with the ghost. "Beside himself" is too extreme; he is fearful but composed enough to be the one others ask to speak to the ghost, indicating respect.

Answer:

B. respected (assuming the options are labeled with letters, and "respected" is the correct choice. If the original options had different labels, adjust accordingly, e.g., if "respected" is option B, then the answer is B. respected)
