The answers are:
A) In 1-2 sentences, identify the historical context of this excerpt.
According to James R. Ferguson, The four treatises that Otis wrote during 1764-65 revealed contradictions and even intellectual confusion. Otis was the first leader of the period in the development of the traditional ideas of the constitution and representation, but was based on the traditional views of the parliamentary authority.
B) In 2-3 sentences, describe how this excerpt reflects the influence of foreign events on the spread of revolutionary sentiment in the colonies.
After reading this paragraph we can infer that it refers to the colonial power exercised by his majesty over his colonies. We also see that it reveals which were the dominant colonies of the time and names them referring to France and Great Britain.
Many Americans experienced shock, grief, and even delight as they learned of the president's passing. Many voiced their sentiments in public, while others wrote in their letters and diaries to convey their joy or despair. Disbelief was the initial response to Lincoln's passing.

Answer: Choice C.
They worried that Lincoln would try to end slavery in the United States.
==========================================================
Explanation:
The issue of slavery was debated and fought over for many years before the election of 1860. It was only until Lincoln became president that sparked the southern states to secede, which led to the Civil War. Proof of this is found in the many Declaration of Secession documents produced by each state that left the union. This is basically a document explaining why they left the United States to form the Confederate States of America (CSA) aka the Confederacy.
In modern times, some people mistakenly claim that the Civil War wasn't over slavery but rather states' rights. This is simply false. The documents I mentioned prove that slavery was the core issue. More proof is the various states having issues with the fugitive slave act, in that the northern states didn't really adhere to the law to the level of the southern states' liking. I guess you could argue that states' rights were involved, but specifically the south fought to have the right to own slaves. In short, it's all about getting the correct context. Expanding that context, simply look at the decades preceding the war and notice all of the tension involving whether a new state was a free state vs a slave state.
