Correct Answer: looked decently


Solution : The third option is correct.

The correct phrase should be looked decent instead of looked decently. The adverb decently should be replaced with the adjective decent to properly modify the noun gown.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The wedding gown looked decent despite being studded with jewels.
