Find out the wrong applications of the underlined word. (i) The painter's work was lauded by art critics for its unique amalgamation of colors. (ii) The amalgamation of two powerful companies created a corporate giant. (iii) The amalgamation of metals is a complex chemical process

Explanation: The underlined word is **amalgamation**. Amalgamation means the action, process, or result of combining or uniting. It is used correctly for: (i) Combining colors. (ii) Combining companies. It is used incorrectly for: (iii) The amalgamation of metals is a complex chemical process. While 'amalgamation' is a specific term for an alloy of mercury with another metal, generally in a non-specific context for a chemical process involving metals, 'combination' or 'alloying' is more appropriate, or more specifically 'alloy formation'. The note provided states that 'amalgamation' in (iii) should be replaced with **'combination'**. Therefore, (iii) is the wrong application.
