Answer:
C. she realized that she will lose her importance as an "official of the court"
Explanation:
I think the correct answer is C. keen.

He describes how people are behaving and what they are doing, including Hamlet and how his actions are perceived in the eyes of others.

The best choice is C. In the past
Hope this helps!
