Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Key idea: choose a word that means calmness or composure under extreme stress to complete the sentence.

  • Jamboree — a large celebration or party.

  • Galore — in abundance; describes quantity, not a person's behavior.

  • Gambit — a tactic or strategic move; does not mean calmness.

  • Sangfroid — composure or calmness maintained under great stress.

Why this fits: the sentence describes a dangerous, stressful situation in which the mother remains calm and acts effectively. 'Sangfroid' directly expresses that calm composure under pressure, so it completes the sentence naturally.

Therefore, sangfroid is the correct choice.
