Which section of the following passage needs to be edited for incorrect spelling, incorrect grammar, inappropriate word choice or wordiness?
  1. At the end of each weekly
  2. meeting we review the minutes
  3. and decide how each team
  4. member should precede.
Explanation
Answer: D - Corrected version: member should proceed.

Precede should be changed to proceed. To precede is to come before; to proceed is to move forward. Ceed and cede have the same root despite the modern difference in spelling, but the prefixes give these words nearly opposite meanings.
