Answer: The restaurant will only accept deliveries through the back entrance.

Step-by-step explanation:

This word contains the correct usage of the word ''accept'' in meaning to receive something.

  • Please except this as a token of my appreciation. In this sentence we can see a wrong usage of a word '' except'' it means to leave out as you wrote in your question and the word that should be instead of it is ''accept'
  • A raise was given to all employees accept the intern. In this sentence it is a wrong usage of a word ''accept'' and it should be ''except'' as instead of ''the intern''.
  • The school was happy to except all donations to support their programs. Please except this as a token of my appreciation. In this sentences there is a wrong usage of ''except''. It should be ''accept'' in both ways.
