Question

complete the text with the correct pair of words.
sean likes to ride five miles on the ____ bicycle and then ____ to his weight-lifting routine.
stationery... precede
stationary... precede
stationary... proceed
stationery... proceed

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: "stationary" means not moving, which correctly describes a stationary exercise bicycle. "Stationery" refers to paper/office supplies, which is irrelevant here.
2. For the second blank: "proceed" means to begin or continue with an action, which fits the context of starting a weight-lifting routine. "Precede" means to come before, which is the opposite of the intended meaning.

Answer:

stationary . . . proceed
