Explanation

The question asks specifically about the "extras between meals." The key details are malt, cod-liver oil, Horlicks (at night), cream cakes, and chocolates — all mentioned directly by Mrs Pumphrey. Examiners expect you to list these specific items; a vague answer like "extra food" will not fetch the mark.
