Explanation
You need two words that are the opposite of “somewhat somber.” Only puckish and wry have the sense of being funny or playful.
Hence puckish, wry are best fit!

I thought because of the word somber, that uninhibited would be one of the answer choices. I'm confused by why wry is correct.

POE applied,, and an educated guess went successful.
uninhibited - unstoppable, out of scope
prurient - felt somewhat negative.. while we need something opposite of somber, out
dated - old? out
puritanical - something puritan? puritan is those who are abstemious. not opposite to somber, out
