Explanation
The same-direction trigger and as well as the clue nothing but contempt requires that the blank mean something like disrespectfully. None of didactically, affably, jocularly, or morosely means disrespectfully, so eliminate choices (A), (B), (C), and (D). Disdainfully does mean disrespectfully, so select choice (E).
Hence option E is correct!
