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

  1. add “student council” before “meeting” - This specifies the type of meeting the students were late to.

  2. replace “students” with “twelfth grade class officers” - This identifies exactly who the students are, adding clarity.

The other options do not significantly enhance the precision of the sentence.
