Question 5 • English III

ac- = "to" cept = "take or receive" ex- = "leave out" Which sentence uses the underlined word correctly?

Answer
A
Everyone went home accept Celia.
B
It is hard for Jason to except such high praise.
C
I will except no money because this is a gift.
D
I am very happy to accept the summer job.

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.
