Answer 1

The correct answer is 'rage'.

Key Points

The word "rage" refers to intense anger, which can indeed strike fear or terror in someone's heart.
The sentence suggests a negative emotional impact, and "rage" fits this context better than the other options.
Options 1, 3, and 4 do not convey the same level of intensity or negative emotional impact.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Complete Sentence: "He believed that he had struck terror in his children's hearts because of his rage."

Additional Information

Option 1: "love" is incorrect because love does not typically strike terror in someone's heart.
Option 3: "calmness" is incorrect as it implies a peaceful state, not one that induces terror.
Option 4: "distress" is incorrect because distress refers to suffering or anxiety, which is not as directly imposing as rage.
