Key Points

• The word "perpetrate" is the correct choice in this context. It means to carry out or commit a harmful, illegal, or immoral act.
• The underlined phrase "penetrate such a violent act" is incorrect because the word "penetrate" does not fit the intended meaning of committing an act of violence.

Correct sentence: It was unbelievable, how a calm person like him could perpetrate such a violent act on his neighbour.
