Use the paragraph to answer the question.
The puppy was so energetic the first time we took her to the dog park, we weren’t able to let her off the leash. She was angry at first, but letting the other dogs come over to visit seemed to placate her after a while. She has since learned to play calmly and is able to romp with the others.
Which word or phrase best provides context to help you understand the meaning of placate?

This shows the contrast: she was angry, but letting the other dogs visit placated her, so placate means to calm or soothe her anger.
