The word "mishapen" is spelled incorrectly. The sentence with the correct spelling is as follows:

"Although the sculpture looked misshapen to me, it was one of two runner-ups for the grand prize."

I hope this was helpful!

Answer:

There are two spelling mistakes in the sentence.

Mishapen: the correct one is misshapen

runner-ups: the correct one is runners-up

Step-by-step explanation:

The first mistake is related to the word misshapen since it carries two letters "S" instead of one.

The second mistale is related to the plural form of the word runner-up. The correct plural form and most accepted one is "runners-up" so the plural is taken by the word "runner" instead of "up"

Although the sculpture looked misshapen to me, it was one of two runners-up for the grand prize.
