Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of squares to be shaded

We need to shade $\frac{1}{4}$ of 24 small - squares. Using the formula $n=\frac{1}{4}\times24$, where $n$ is the number of squares to be shaded. So $n = 6$.

Step2: Count the currently shaded squares

By counting the shaded squares in the given grid, we find there are 7 shaded squares.

Step3: Determine the correction action

Since there are 7 shaded squares and we need 6, we should remove shading from 1 small square.

Answer:

Remove shading from 1 small square.
