Question

fix the two words that are used incorrectly.
denise saw that concert tickets were on sale, but she didnt know how much
she was aloud to buy.
(note: allowed is in blue, aloud is in red, and theres a submit button and a cursor image)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The sentence has two misused words. "aloud" means to speak out, but here the context is about being permitted to buy, so "aloud" should be "allowed". Also, "allowed" is misspelled as "alowed" (missing the second 'l'), and "aloud" is incorrect in meaning. Wait, re - examining: the two incorrect words are "alowed" (should be "allowed") and "aloud" (should be "allowed"? No, wait, the intended meaning is "she was allowed to buy", so "aloud" is wrong (it should be "allowed"), and "alowed" is a misspelling of "allowed". Wait, the original sentence parts: "allowed" is misspelled as "alowed" (so "alowed" -> "allowed"), and "aloud" is semantically wrong (should be "allowed"? No, wait, the correct sentence should be "Denise saw that concert tickets were on sale, but she didn't know how much she was allowed to buy." So the two incorrect words are "alowed" (spelling error, should be "allowed") and "aloud" (semantic error, should be "allowed"? No, "aloud" is wrong, it should be "allowed". Wait, no: "alowed" is a misspelling of "allowed", and "aloud" is the wrong word (it should be "allowed" in meaning). So we need to correct "alowed" to "allowed" and "aloud" to "allowed"? No, wait, the correct sentence structure: "how much she was allowed to buy" – so "aloud" is incorrect (it's a homophone error, "aloud" vs "allowed"). And "alowed" is a misspelling of "allowed". So the two words to fix are "alowed" (correct to "allowed") and "aloud" (correct to "allowed").

Answer:

The two incorrect words are "alowed" (correct to "allowed") and "aloud" (correct to "allowed"). So we replace "alowed" with "allowed" and "aloud" with "allowed" to get the correct sentence: "Denise saw that concert tickets were on sale, but she didn't know how much she was allowed to buy."
