Question

Explanation:

The first sentence uses "except" correctly to mean excluding Texas from the list of U.S. states visited. In the second sentence, "accept" should be used instead of "except" to mean being regarded as - liked for who one is. In the third sentence, "accepted" (the past - participle of "accept") should be used to mean being received or admitted into Harvard.

I have been to every U.S. state EXCEPT Texas.
