The correct answer is 'cheerful'

Key Points

  •  The phrase 'in high spirits' is an idiom.
  • An idiom is a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words.
  • So the idiom 'in high spirit' means 'liveliness and cheerfulness'.
  • The sentence given in the question would then mean 'At parties he is always cheerful'. 
  • Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
