Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Your name/precedes before / mine / in the list.
Option 1: mine
Option 2: Your name
Option 3: precedes before
Option 4: in the list
Correct Answer: precedes before
Solution : The error lies in the third option
Precedes itself means to come before in order or time. Hence, using before is not correct, as it creates redundancy in the sentence, and thus should be omitted.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Your name precedes mine in the list".
