💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect method name 'clickHold' instead of 'clickAndHold'.

Passing a wrong argument instead of the WebElement.

The method name is clickAndHold, but here the error is that the method is called as clickHold. The blank is for the argument, which should be the element to click and hold on.
