Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Snug.

The option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words "Enjoying or affording warm secure shelter or cover and opportunity for ease and contentment" is "Snug".

Snug provides a sense of warmth, security, and comfort, fitting the description of enjoying secure shelter and contentment.

The other option means:

Undisturbed: Free from disturbance, but does not specifically convey warmth or comfort.

Easeful: Related to ease or comfort, but does not necessarily imply warmth or shelter.

Untroubled: Free from worry or stress, but does not specifically address warmth or secure shelter.

Thus, "snug" is the most appropriate one-word substitute for the given description.
