0:00
Solution: Step 1: Examine the phrase 'every part'. Step 2: The determiner 'every' always precedes a singular noun. 'Part' is a singular noun, so 'every part' is grammatically correct. Step 3: The verb 'is used' is singular, correctly agreeing with the singular subject 'every part' (which functions as a singular unit). Step 4: The adverb 'practically' (meaning almost) correctly modifies 'every part'. Step 5: The phrase 'every part' is a standard and idiomatic expression. Step 6: Since the original sentence is grammatically correct and idiomatic, no improvement is needed. Step 7: Therefore, 'No improvement' is the correct choice.
