Read this ACCUPLACER-style editing passage.
Paragraph 1: [1] Meeting notes recorded which option a committee selected but not why members rejected the alternatives. [2] Six months later, a new group reopened the same debate because it could not reconstruct the earlier reasoning.
Paragraph 2: [3] The decision itself had not changed. [4] This caused unnecessary duplication of the discussion.
Which version of sentence 4 identifies the correct antecedent rather than a nearby but unintended detail in the missing meeting rationale draft?
