Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.

"Except for" means "with the exception of" or "excluding" and is the right choice for this sentence to convey the intended meaning that apart from him, no one could answer the question.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Except for him , no one could answer the question.
