Question

Rewrite the following sentence correctly. Do not make unnecessary changes.

She is a dullard, except her arrogance is taken as a mark of brilliance.

Answer 1

"Except" is incorrect in the given context and must be changed to "unless" for the sentence to make logical sense. "Except" is with the exception (that); used to introduce a clause, phrase or adverb forming an exception or qualification to something previously stated while "unless" is except on a specified condition; if not.
