The correct sentence that uses the word "epitome" correctly is:

**Keisha always lends a hand when it’s needed; she is the epitome of helpfulness.**

This sentence uses "epitome" to describe Keisha as a typical example of helpfulness, which aligns with the definition provided. The other sentences misuse the word.
