Hedonists have a _____ notion that happiness lies in the _____ of physical appetites.
on this earth. Everyman tends to define a happy life in a _____ individualistic fashion.
distinctly
The blank modifies "individualistic fashion", so an adverb meaning "clearly" or "markedly" is needed. Distinctly fits — it emphasises that each person's definition of a happy life is clearly and noticeably unique.
"Identically" contradicts "individualistic"; "similar" is an adjective and grammatically wrong before another adjective; "serious" changes the meaning and doesn't capture the uniqueness highlighted by the passage.
