Answer
A

B
I will except no money because this is a gift.
C
Everyone went home accept Celia.
D
It is hard for Jason to except such high praise.

Explanation

Accept means “to take or receive,” so “I am very happy to accept the summer job” uses the word correctly. Except means “to leave out” or “excluding,” which is why it does not fit in the other sentences as written.
