The first one doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't think either "a" or "b" is an antonym to both words. To temper steel is to harden it, so that is a synonym, not an antonym. Someone who is servile is NOT aggressive or dominant, so "b" works as an antonym for that.
This one is false since a diffident parent lacks confidence, but a peremptory manner exudes confidence.
a. judicious (meaning wise) Wise parents would not beat their kids with blunt instruments unless they wanted to be up on abuse (or murder) charges.
a. peremptory (meaning decisive or final, so it would end the conflict)
