    Question

    Select the option that will improve the (bracketed) part of the sentence. In case of no improvement, select 'No improvement'.
    I wouldn't have (accepted anything accept) a job in Europe.

    A.

    excepted anything accept

    B.

    accepted anything except

    C.

    No improvement

    D.

    accepted everything expect

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) accepted anything except.
    Explanation: The word “accept” is a verb meaning to agree to receive. “Except” is a preposition meaning excluding. The sentence requires the structure “wouldn’t have accepted... except...” to show exclusion.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · "Accept" (verb) vs. "Except" (preposition/conjunction) confusion is a common error.
    · Example: She accepted all the invitations except one.
    Information Booster:
    Confusing homophones like “accept” and “except” often occur in exams. Always check verb/preposition usage.
