Question

这题选什么？为什么

Answer 1

A instead 通常用于句末，instead of 介词短语

追问

那为什么不选c呢

追答

except for 是除了……（除去，不包括） ex: Everyone was late, except for Richard.
根据题意C是错的

Answer 2

B
该题主要考察三个同义词的用法差别：
一.instead作副词用,通常位于句尾.如位于句首时常用逗号与后面隔开
二.instead of是介宾短语,其意与instead相同,不同之处在于它后面常接宾语,起宾语多由名词、代词、介词、短语、动词 + ing 形式充当.
三、except for表示“除…以外”,指对某种基本情况进行具体的细节方面的修正.它同except的区别是：except for后接的词同句子中的整体词（主语）不是同类的,指从整体中除去一个细节,一个方面；而except后接的词同整体词（主语）一般是同类,指在同类的整体中除去一个部分.

在不清楚某个词或者短语的用法时，多看例句，是条不错的捷径，任何一本词典上都附有例句。
