    Solution

    Statement I: "The scientist's groundbreaking research not only advanced our understanding of quantum physics but had practical applications." This statement is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrasing should be "The scientist's groundbreaking research not only advanced our understanding of quantum physics but also had practical applications." Adding "also" after "but" is necessary for grammatical correctness. Statement II: "The orchestra's performance was a symphony of harmonious melodies, captivating the audience's imagination." This statement is grammatically correct. "Symphony" refers to a complex musical composition, and "captivating" means enchanting or captivating. Statement III: "The company's expansion was a strategic move to capitalize in emerging markets and diversify its revenue streams." This statement is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrase should be "to capitalize on emerging markets" instead of "to capitalize in emerging markets."
