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."
