Explanation:

Analyze the sentence structure and context

Using the Spanish Vocabulary and Spanish Logical Association knowledge points, we analyze the context of the sentence:

• "Me gusta desayunar a las nueve de la mañana..." translates to "I like to eat breakfast at nine in the morning..."
• "...a la una de la tarde..." translates to "...at one in the afternoon..."
• "...y cenar a las ocho de la tarde." translates to "...and to eat dinner at eight in the evening."

The sentence lists the three main daily meals in chronological order: breakfast (desayunar), lunch, and dinner (cenar). Therefore, the missing verb must mean "to eat lunch" or "to have lunch."

Determine the correct verb form

Using the Spanish Infinitives knowledge point, we identify the correct grammatical form:

• The prompt asks to "Use the infinitive in your answer."
• The preceding verb "desayunar" and the following verb "cenar" are both in their infinitive forms, linked by the construction "Me gusta [infinitive 1], [infinitive 2] y [infinitive 3]."
• The Spanish infinitive verb for "to eat lunch" is almorzar.

Answer:

Me gusta desayunar a las nueve de la mañana, <blank>almorzar</blank> a la una de la tarde y cenar a las ocho de la tarde.
