Question : Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The duke had capacity, but his life was so ______ that what influence he had upon the king was for evil.
Option 1: seditious
Option 2: scrumptious
Option 3: lewd
Option 4: ambitious
Correct Answer: lewd
Solution : The third option is correct.
The sentence suggests that the duke's life was morally corrupt or offensive, and the word lewd fits in this context.
Lewd refers to behaviour that is sexually explicit, obscene, or vulgar. In this case, it implies that the duke's immoral life influenced the king in a negative way.
Therefore, the sentence would read, "The duke had capacity, but his life was so lewd that what influence he had upon the king was for evil".
