when you see "only by failing to recognize" then it means what will follow actually contrasts with the blank. If the peace resembles to death (means this is contemptible) and you have "failed" to recognize this, then you must be (doing the opposite) encouraging or "applauding" this peace. Hence, applaud is the answer.

Hope that makes sense.

The historians can do something about the "Augustan Peace" only by failing to recognize that this peace resembled death.

If they recognized this "Augustan Peace" to be resembling death, then they would most likely denounce it.

Since they failed to recognize this, they can only praise it. Therefore the correct choice word is applaud.
