    Everybody is (A)/going on a trip (B)/ accept for the two girls (C)/at the end of the line. (D)
    Question

    Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The corresponding letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, then choose option ‘No error’ as the answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

    Everybody is (A)/going on a trip (B)/ accept for the two girls (C)/at the end of the line. (D)

    A.

    B

    B.

    D

    C.

    A

    D.

    C

    E.

    No error

    Correct option is D


    The correct option is option(d) because the word ‘accept’ does not complete the sentence as ‘accept’ refers to agreeing to take something whereas ‘except’ refers to not including or other than. Thus, ‘accept” should be replaced with “except” for a meaningful correct sentence.
    Solution in detail:
    Corrected sentence: Everybody is going on a trip except for the two girls at the end of the line.
    Explanation:
    The error is in part (C). The word "accept" is incorrect; the correct word should be "except."
    "Accept" is a verb that means to receive or agree to something.
    "Except" is a preposition that means excluding or not including.
    In the sentence, the correct word to use is "except" because it indicates that the two girls are excluded from going on the trip, while everyone else is going. Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "Everybody is going on a trip except for the two girls at the end of the line."
