Question

James said he would except Brett's apology for breaking his chandelier, but James never invited Brett to his house again.
Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. accept
• C. respond to
• D. incept

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

accept

The correct answer is Option B.

ACCEPT means to receive or obtain. In the given sentence, James says that he will receive and take Brett's apology.

EXCEPT is incorrect because the word means TO EXCLUDE. This is irrelevant in the given sentence.

Thus ACCEPT is the word that corrects the underlined word.
