Explanation:

To find a synonym for "evoke", we analyze the options:

• "call forth" means to bring out or evoke a feeling/response, matching "evoke" (which means to bring out a feeling).
• "calm" is a verb/adjective about soothing, not evoking.
• "excite" means to stir up enthusiasm, not the same as evoking a peaceful sense.
• "give off" refers to emitting (like a smell), not evoking a feeling. So "call forth" is the correct synonym.

Answer:

call forth
