pacify, mollify This sentence provides the clues that when Sven “got angry,” returning him “to his normal demeanor” was “almost impossible.” His normal demeanor must be something like not angry, so you’re looking for something like the verb calm in the blank. Condemn (censure; sentence), judge (form an opinion about), incense (infuriate), and influence (determine or guide) do not contain any pairs, though condemn and judge are close.
