Question

which sentence uses the word hue correctly?○ the hue had not had enough time to dry and was still wet.○ i heard a knock and wondered hue could be at the door.○ use a larger hue to create bold brush strokes.○ i chose to make the sky a lighter hue than the deep blue of the ocean in my painting.

Explanation:

The word "hue" refers to a color or a shade of a color.

1. The first sentence incorrectly uses "hue" to mean a wet substance (like paint).
2. The second sentence uses "hue" as a substitute for "who", which is a homophone error.
3. The third sentence incorrectly uses "hue" to mean a painting tool or brush size.
4. The fourth sentence correctly uses "hue" to describe a shade of blue for the sky in a painting.

Answer:

I chose to make the sky a lighter hue than the deep blue of the ocean in my painting.
