Official Answer:-
The key word “counteract” indicates that the harmful effect on the human body is something that is the opposite of “soothing.” An example that would work in the blank is “stress,” but the lack of specific context allows for any negative emotion to fit. Choice (C) apprehension, or "anxiety," is a good choice because it is a stress-inducing emotion. Choice (D) trepidation, or "fear," also works as a good contrast to “soothing.” Choice (A) dispassion, or "lack of concern," would be the opposite of the correct prediction. Choice (B) sedation, or "induced relaxation," it is not the opposite of “soothing” and must be incorrect. Choice (E) intoxication, or "the state of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol," has the potential for negative effects but is not directly relevant to emotional unrest. Choice (F) imperturbation, or "calmness," means the same thing as Choice (A), and again would be the direct opposite of our prediction. The correct answers are (C) and (D).
