Mellow is to calm down, so that would be excite, or something similar. (excited, if you're using the adjective form)
Renounce is to give something up (usually a belief), so the opposite would be to accept. Hope that helps! :)

That's not spelling! Is this part of a spelling book? Check your list words. There are too many possibilities.
