He is quite well now, except a slight cold.

  • A.except with a slight cold
  • B.except for a slight cold
  • C.except to a slight cold
  • D.No improvement required.

Answer: B

It should read except for a slight cold.

Except for introduces the one thing that qualifies an otherwise complete statement. Except alone is a preposition of exclusion from a group, which is not the sense here.
