    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

    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!
