Answer 1

The two revisions that would make the sentence more precise are:

1. add “student council” before “meeting” - This specifies which meeting the students were late to.
2. replace “students” with “twelfth grade class officers” - This provides a specific description of which students were late.

These changes make the sentence clearer by specifying the context and the group involved.
