    You are rite.

    Halcyon(adj): idyllically calm and peaceful; suggesting happy tranquillity; as a halcyon atmosphere
    so B is the rite choice.

    Sangfroid ,

    8. EPITHET:

    A malediction
    B buffoonery
    C bandinage
    D asperity
    E eulogy

    Epithet is a word or phrase that can be used as a term of abuse:

    Eg :- He felt an urge to hurl epithets in his face.

    On the contrary , eulogy is a speech ( or phrases) used to praise someone highly .


    9. EPIGRAM:

    A antithesis
    B sophistry
    C inanity
    D sermon
    E dialogue

    Epigram : a pithy saying or remark expressing an idea in a clever and amusing way

    Inanity : A stupid saying .

    Hope it is clear now
