Answer
a
amused that he was able to attend his own mother’s wedding.
d
disgusted that Gertrude and Claudius married so quickly.
g
grateful that his mother did not have to remain a widow for long.
r
resentful that Gertrude and Claudius wasted so much food.
Explanation
Horatio says he came for the funeral, and Hamlet replies that he thinks it was really to see his mother’s wedding because the wedding followed so soon after the funeral. His comment that the funeral food was served cold at the wedding also mocks how quickly the two events were joined. This shows he is disgusted that Gertrude and Claudius married so quickly, not merely upset about wasted food.
