Discussion
Select the Antonym of the word occurring in the sentence in capital letters as per the context from the given words or group of words.
The speaker was unable to PACIFY the crowd.
Answer: B
The antonym of PACIFY is excite.
To pacify a crowd is to calm it down and quieten its anger or agitation. The opposite is to stir it up, to excite it.
Antagonize is the near miss: it means to make someone hostile towards you, which is about relations with the speaker rather than the crowd's calm or agitation. Threaten and challenge describe actions towards someone, not the reverse of calming them.
