Explanation:

The word "solicitous" means showing concern or care. Looking at the sentence, the context implies that despite not being overly worried (solicitous) about the menaces, they still thought it wise to frighten them away. "Full of anxiety and concern" aligns with the meaning of "solicitous". "Feeling or showing extreme anger" is incorrect as there's no indication of anger. "Lacking attention to rules and procedures" is not relevant to the context. "Joyful and proud especially because success" also doesn't fit the context of dealing with menaces.

Answer:

full of anxiety and concern
