As Oscar says, the only word that works with “into” is to “evolve”. As to the question, “to proceed” is about attempting to move forward, while “to progress” is about successfully moving forward. Your favorite dictionary should clear this up (look up both words) along with examples. Semantically, “progressed”,”advanced”,and “proceeded” could all work, but the end of the sentence would need to be restructured grammatically. To conquer this exam, you’ll need to study (and master — make up sentences using the words) a list of the verbs in question along with the **prepositions that they govern**.
