Question

    Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).

    He has remade a whole small shop (A)/building in King's Cross into (B)/an imaginary reptile house, (C)/accept there aren't any reptiles in the museum cases (D)!

    A He has remade a whole small shop Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B building in King's Cross into Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C an imaginary reptile house Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D accept there aren't any reptiles in the museum cases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word ‘accept’, which means ‘to agree to take something’ is inappropriate here. The correct word is ‘except’, which means ‘not including’.   He has remade a whole small shop building in King's Cross into an imaginary reptile house, except there aren't any reptiles in the museum cases!
