    Solution

    Statement I: "The artist's abstract paintings were a juxtaposition of vibrant colors, evoking a sense of euphoria." This statement is grammatically correct. "Juxtaposition" refers to the act of placing two things side by side for comparison. "Euphoria" means a feeling of intense happiness. Statement II: "Despite of her meticulous planning, the event turned out to be a fiasco due to unexpected weather conditions." The error is in "Despite of." The correct phrase is "Despite her meticulous planning." "Despite" is used without the preposition "of." Statement III: "The novel's intricate plot and vivid descriptions held the readers in a state of rapt attention." This statement is grammatically correct. "Intricate" means complex and detailed, and "rapt attention" means deep and focused attention
