    Solution

    The correct sentence is: The enchanting sunset, with its warm hues painting the sky in a mesmerizing gradient, cast its tranquil reflection upon the still surface of the lake, creating an idyllic tableau of nature’s beauty. In the original sentence, "warm gradient" followed by "painting the sky" is not contextually coherent. The corrected sentence replaces "warm gradient" with "warm hues" to describe the colors of the sunset.
