Explanation
The same-direction trigger too and the clue emotional coddling (and the oppositedirection trigger forgetting and its clue competitive environments) require that the blank mean something like leniently. None of aggressively, quixotically, fortuitously, or belligerently mean leniently, so eliminate choices (A), (B), (C), and (E). Indulgently does mean leniently, so select choice (D).
Hence option Dis correct!

Hi, why "indulgently" does not work for the answer?
