    Answer & explanation

    Answer: A) quiet

    The sentence describes how the cat entered the store room, so the blank must be filled with a word that describes the manner of entry — that is, an adjective or adverb referring to silence or lack of noise.

    • quiet – ✅ Correct; means silent or making little noise.
