It is better to keep one's head in the face of danger than __________ one's courage and __________ panicky.
Answer: A
The correct pair is Lose, get: It is better to keep one's head in the face of danger than lose one's courage and get panicky.
After It is better to ... than, the second part takes the same bare infinitive form as the first: better to keep ... than (to) lose ... and (to) get. The idioms lose one's courage and get panicky fit the sense.
Losing, getting breaks the parallel structure. Quell (suppress) and bemoan (lament) do not fit the meaning, and look out for, dispel being makes no sense in the sentence.
