Accept vs Except vs Expect

Three words, one quiz, and 14 sentences to sort them out. Accept means to receive or agree to something, except means leaving something out, and expect means to anticipate. You decide which one fills each blank, with prompts such as "Most businesses in this country ___ credit cards" and "What do you ___ more from a good friend: honesty or understanding?" With three lookalikes in play, it is best saved for intermediate students rather than beginners. A handy thing to notice while you practice is that except can even shift into a verb, excepted, when you single something out.
