Answer:
Nervous, defensive.
Explanation:
Gertrude is the mother of Hamlet in play titled "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark", written by William Shaekespeare.
Gertrude is shown more loyal to Claudius (second husband) than her son, Hamlet. In Act 4, the characteristics of Gertrude presented are nervous and defensive. We see her defending herself for not being a part of her usband's murder. She is nervous because of the murder of Laertes and seeing her son slip into madness.
Therefore, nervous and defensive are correct answers.
