What does the word hysterically mean in the following sentence?

The audience laughed hysterically at the comedian's jokes.

a: without real emotion
b: full of energy
c: in a way that cannot be controlled
d: in a pleasant way

Answer 1

d: Conductor

b: full of energy

Answer 2

The correct answers are "conductor" and "in a way that cannot be controlled"

Step-by-step explanation:

A conductor is someone who conducts an orchestra; therefore, the only possible answer is this since the rest of the options are not related to the context of the sentence.

The word "hysterically" means with "uncontrolled emotion" so option A, be and C are incorrect. The expression "to laugh hysterically" means laughing for a long time and about something that is extremely funny.
