Question

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

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first blank: "stationary" means not moving, which is appropriate for a bicycle used indoors (like an exercise bike). "stationery" refers to writing materials, so it doesn't fit here.
2. Analyze the second blank: "proceed to" means to move on to or begin a new activity, which makes sense in the context of moving from riding a bike to a weight - lifting routine. "precede" means to come before, which is the opposite of what is needed here.

Answer:

A. stationary... proceed
