答案

mostly是可以用作形容词的.这里是为了修饰young boys 作为了它的形容词.
虽然字典上查不到mostly 能做为形容词.但是你会经常看到这样的句子：
A Mostly Peaceable Kingdom
a Mostly Sleeping Sensor Network
等类似的像MOST一样作为形容词的用法.
我在“新东方TOEFL复习笔记”看到：
most & mostly区别
the mostly intense of … X
…be composed most of water …X
most: adj. / pron / ad
mostly: ad. 大多数的,修饰prep/ v （作副词时可修饰介词和动词）
mostly：adj修饰名词,ad修饰形容词和副词（作形容词时可修饰名词 ）
所以mostly 是可以做为adj（形容词）来用的.
