The two highlighted words are the only clue required to find the blanks. For the first blank, the overall tone is positive and it the wordings were to prevent violence, thus, placate. For the second blank, the sentence says that the words rather inflamed, therefore the words were not so placating, condescending fits the bill.
Thus, C & F
Hope this helps!
