To determine which word could replace "nice" to add more precision to the sentence, we need to understand the meaning of "nice" in this context. Looking at the sentence "Many nice plants filled the hotel lobby," we can deduce that "nice" is being used to describe the plants. However, "nice" is a vague and subjective word that does not provide us with much information about the plants.
To add more precision, we can consider words that provide specific descriptions of the plants. For example, we could replace "nice" with "green" to specify that the plants were of a particular color. This would make the sentence more precise and informative.
Therefore, the word "green" could replace "nice" to add more precision to the sentence.
