Answer:

Most common would be hanged.

Explanation:

One of the most common sentences for a witch would be hanged at Gallows Hill. Although the Salem Witch Trials are well-known for having their victims being burned at the stake, that was actually less common than being hanged. Another rather odd punishment was called the witch’s cradle. The victim was put into a sack and tied upside down from a tree, where the accusers would proceed to swing them back and forth. This caused hallucinations in some cases, but they used whatever they said to add some zest to their story.

It conveys admiration.

The author uses the words champion, winning, remarkable achievements, and extraordinary. They all have very strong connotations of success and positivity. This immediate eliminates option A. Option B is also not correct because they do not show curiosity. We also don't see true excitement. If the author wanted to convey a sense of excitement in the paragraph there should also be exclamation points. These words convey admiration for the person Thurgood Marshall was and his achievements.
