The clue for the first blank is most of their activities during the day, and so that blank must describe such a pattern. Quotidian means common and circadian patterns occur once per day, but not specifically during the daytime. Diurnal is the best fit because it means during the daytime. The second blank needs to be consistent with the clue desire for company.Collaborative means enjoys working with others but not a desire for company, but a gregarious creature is quite social and seeks out company. Egregious means extremely bad, and does not match.
