Questions & Answers about Incluso el clima extremo puso nervioso al público.

Could I use hasta instead of incluso at the beginning of this sentence?
Yes! Both incluso and hasta can mean "even" when you are talking about including something surprising or extreme. Hasta el clima extremo puso nervioso al público means exactly the same thing.
The translation says "made... nervous," but doesn't puso come from poner (to put)? Why not use hizo?
In English, we say something "makes" us nervous, sad, or happy. In Spanish, for temporary emotional or physical changes, you generally use the verb poner. So puso nervioso is the natural way to say "made nervous." You wouldn't use hacer here.
Why is it al público and not just el público?
The word al is the contraction of a + el. The a here is the "personal a". You need it because público refers to a group of people, and they are the direct object of the verb (they are the ones receiving the action of being made nervous).
Why is it nervioso instead of nerviosos if the public is a group of people?
Adjectives must match the grammatical gender and number of the noun they describe. El público is a singular, masculine noun, so it takes the singular, masculine adjective nervioso, even though it refers to a plural group of people in real life.
