Explanation

Appease means to pacify, calm, or satisfy someone (or something) by making concessions. The goal is to prevent anger, conflict, or aggression by giving in to demands. Ruffle means to disturb, rumble is a low sound, and pause means to stop temporarily - only pacify matches the calming meaning.
