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".
