(A) quite (B) he is (C) short-sighted (D) except for (E) this

Correct option is D

Correct Sequence: B A C D E.

Arranged Sentence: He is quite short-sighted except for this.

Step-by-step Explanation (English):

• (B) “he is” must come first because it provides the subject + verb needed to start a complete sentence.

• (A) “quite” is an adverb of degree that modifies an adjective. So it should be placed before the adjective it intensifies.

• (C) “short-sighted” is the adjective describing “he”. Therefore, “quite short-sighted” becomes the correct adjective phrase.

• (D) “except for” is a fixed prepositional phrase used to show exception (meaning: “apart from / other than”). It is used correctly before a noun/pronoun.

• (E) “this” is the object of “except for” and refers to a particular point/thing that is an exception.
