    In this sentence, the person mentioned sits up, smiles, and introduces himself to Ralph. The word "pallidly" means pale or lacking in color, which does not fit the context of the sentence. "Graciously" means politely or kindly, which could be a possible answer, but there is no indication of politeness or kindness in the sentence.

Therefore, the most appropriate word to fill the blank is "pallidly."
