Fill in the blanks with the suitable pair of words given in the options.

The principal will not _______ any explanation offered by the faculty______ that given by the sports department.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

'Accept' (agree to receive) fits the first blank: the principal will not accept explanations. 'Except' (other than) fits the second: excluding the one from the sports department. The pair 'accept, except' is correct; the other options reverse the words or use 'expect', which changes the meaning.
