Question

In the sentence below, four words are highlighted. Some of these words may be incorrectly used. Identify the correct replacement(s) among the highlighted words to make the sentence meaningful and grammatically correct.

Taking great care (A) while believed (B) the block of ice, the artist chiseling (C) that this would be his greatest sculpture (D) yet.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "while believed (B)" is incorrect. The correct word should be "while believing" to indicate the artist's ongoing action.

2. The word "chiseling (C)" is also incorrect in this context. The correct form is "chiseled" because the artist has already done the action.

3. The other highlighted words "Taking great care (A)" and "greatest sculpture (D)" are correctly used.

4. Therefore, only the replacements at (B) and (C) are needed to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful.

**Answer:** Only (B) - (C)
