Follow or pass (7)
I believe the answer is:
succeed
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'follow' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'pass' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'or' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for succeed that I've seen before include "Achieve the desired result" , "Do very well" , "Achieve a purpose" , "Achieve an aim" , "Reach one's goal" .)
