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".
