serenity : tranquility
  1. solitude : trepidation
  2. disquietude : anxiety
  3. humiliation : repulsion
  4. magnanimity : pettiness
Explanation
Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

A feeling of serenity is characterized by tranquility, just as a feeling of disquietude is characterized by anxiety, as in choice (B). Choice (A) is incorrect, because solitude, or seclusion, is not usually accompanied by trepidation, or dread. Choice (C) is incorrect because a feeling of humiliation is not really related to repulsion or disgust. Choice (D) is incorrect because magnanimity means generous, so it could not be characterized by pettiness.
