OD. "I think it was to see my mother's wedding."

Answer 1

OB. "For God's love let me hear!"

Step-by-step explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" revolves around the story of a young prince Hamlet's desire to avenge his father's murder. The play deals with themes of loyalty, betrayal, family, greed, insanity, etc.

The given excerpt is from Act 1 scene ii of the play, the scene where Horatio is in conversation with Hamlet. Horatio told Hamlet that he's there for the death of the former king while also at the same time, agreeing that it was also for the celebration of the marriage between Claudius and Gertrude. As he went on, he told the young prince that he, along with Marcellus and Barnardo, had seen the dead king's ghost recently. This stunned Hamlet, resulting in his response "For God's love let me hear!" This inclusion of the exclamation mark shows the anxious feeling in Hamlet.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
