    Solution

    The word "graceful" is an adjective, but it is incorrectly used to modify the verb "performed".
    Verbs should be modified by adverbs, not adjectives.
    The correct adverb form of "graceful" is "gracefully".
    Corrected sentence: She performed so gracefully during the audition that the judges immediately selected her for the lead role.
