In the following passage, some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer for the given blank out of the four alternatives.

Over the years Blyton ______ for a lot of things, especially for being ______ and creating two-dimensional characters. But for many of us, the name brings up the nostalgia of rainy afternoons ______ snuggled up with our noses in her books and being transported to a world where good means good and bad means bad, with nothing ______ between. I remember reading in a preface that many girls had written asking Blyton how ______ could enrol at Malory Towers or St. Clare’s!

The nostalgia of rainy afternoons ______ snuggled up with our noses

The correct answer is

Cosily

The blank modifies the verb phrase “snuggled up,” so an adverb is required. “Cosiness” is a noun, “Cosiest” a superlative adjective, and “Cosying” a participle — none works. Only Cosily is an adverb and correctly describes the manner of snuggling.
