Simplest way to duplicate audio from elsewhere in the track?

Let's say I have a 10 min. video of someone slapping himself 100 times.
One of the slaps is muffled b/c he misses his face.
I want to overlap the muffled slap with one of the other 99 slaps.

I have Vegas Basic (Not Platinum or Pro). That was a huge mistake.

There is no "Group" pop-up menu, so first, I have ungrouped the audio and video.
Options/Preferences/Editing, uncheck "Cut, copy and delete grouped events" and Apply.
Cut, then re-paste the audio (or the video) only. Now, either video or audio can be moved separately.

Now, I split the video to isolate the bad slap clip.

What is the best way to duplicate that 1 second of audio?

I'm not familiar with the Basic version but possibly you could export the 1 sec as a wav file and then import that and use as many times as you want?

Why not just copy & paste?

Copy and paste?

Where do I paste? Into a new track?

How do I remove the old sound from track 1 and move the new sound from track 2 into its place on track 1?

It all seems so clumsy.
