Mishnah 1: " אֵין עוֹמְדִין לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ כֹּבֶד רֹאשׁ." Why is this particularly relevant to davening? Isn't it a good idea to do all mitzvos in a serious mindset?
All of the above
Davening is the one mitzvah where you haven't fulfilled the mitzvah if you don't have the awareness of being in front of Hashem
The mishnah assumes we'll learn the lesson from davening and apply to other mitzvos
The tana kama prefers to give an example using a mitzvah m'd'rabanan which is also a mitzvah aseh she'ha'zman grama.
We don't follow this opinion of Beis Shammai

Mishnah 1: "חֲסִידִים הָרִאשׁוֹנִים הָיוּ שׁוֹהִים שָׁעָה אַחַת וּמִתְפַּלְּלִים, כְּדֵי שֶׁיְּכַוְּנוּ אֶת לִבָּם לַמָּקוֹם". The Gemara asks: If they spent nine hours a day engaged in tefilah, what became of their learning? The Gemara answers:
Since they were authentic chasidim -- people for whom it was necessary and appropriate to go the extra mile -- both their tefilah and Torah were fine.
The chasidim had a right to follow their minhag, even if non-chasidishe people think it wasn't an appropriate use of time
Chazal later said that people were no longer on the level where it was appropriate to do so anymore.
All of the above
Since they lived in the time before the Torah She'be'al Peh was put into writing, they didn't know it would be publicized, so it wasn't considered to be "showing off."
