MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



The sentence excludes a subset or an event from a larger group. You can eliminate B, D an E because they convey the opposite meaning as they say the subset and the group have the same characteristics. A is wrong because ‘Except for’ should be followed by a phrase, not a sentence. Choice C is the only possible answer.

Can't we eliminate options by this following approach? Correct me if I am wrong.

Eliminate D and E because they consist "Between" which requires parallelism, Same with option B "as well as" requires parallelism.

We left with A and C. In A ‘Except for’ should be followed by a phrase, not a sentence. Hence Option C is correct.
