Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Expect
Explanation:
We didn't expect the programme to be such a huge success.
'Expect' is correct because it is a verb meaning to think or anticipate that something will happen. In the negative past form 'didn't expect', it expresses surprise at the outcome.
'Accept' means to receive or agree to something; using it here would imply refusing or not agreeing to the programme, which is not the intended meaning.
'Except' is a preposition meaning 'excluding' (and is not used to express anticipation), so it cannot fill the blank correctly.
'Access' means to reach or enter; it would be awkward and incorrect in this context.
