The correct answer is: Option 1 i.e., follow.

Key Points

  • The word "precede" means to come before something in time, order, or position. (पूर्व में होना)
    • Example: The meeting will precede the luncheon.
  • "Follow" means to come after something in time or order; it is the opposite of precede. (अनुसरण करना)
    • Example: The speech will follow the award ceremony.
  • Hence, we can infer that the opposite of 'precede' is 'follow'.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option 1 i.e., follow.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

  • Lead (नेतृत्व करना): To go in front or guide someone to a destination.
    • Example: She will lead the team in the project.
  • Predate (पूर्व में दिनांकित करना): To exist or occur at a date earlier than something.
    • Example: These fossils predate the dinosaurs.
  • Antedate (पूर्व दिनांकित करना): To come before something in date; same as predate.
    • Example: The document is antedated to last year.
