Explanation:

The passage describes a situation where Richard's mother reminds him he has only five minutes to pick out a card. There are consequences for being late at each step - being late to take pictures, then to the restaurant, and ultimately making Gaby late to her own party. This creates a sense of hurry or being rushed. There is no clear indication of anger, calmness, or confusion in the text.

Answer:

D. rushed
