Hi again!
Why revived incorret

Hi,

Replace simply means to put another part in the place of the old/broken part. Revive literally means bring back to life. You can revive someone who is apparently drowned by breathing into their mouth. You can also revive old songs/plays/shows by performing/playing them again.
