    Solution

    Statement I: "The entrepreneur's vision and audacious goals driven her to create a company that redefined industry standards." The error is in "driven." The correct form should be "drove," making the sentence past tense. The correct phrasing would be "The entrepreneur's vision and audacious goals drove her to create a company that redefined industry standards." Statement II: "The detective's perspicacious observations and deductive reasoning made him a invaluable asset to the investigation team." The error is in "a invaluable." The correct form should be "an invaluable" because "invaluable" starts with a vowel sound. The correct phrasing would be "The detective's perspicacious observations and deductive reasoning made him an invaluable asset to the investigation team." Statement III: "The playwright's script was a masterpiece of eloquent dialogue and profound insights into human nature." This statement is grammatically correct. "Eloquent" means fluent and persuasive in speaking or writing.
