the White House. The fire completely destroyed the inside of the building
and the White House was so dangerous to live in. Later on workers rebuilt            S8.______
the inside of it. More offices were added, most of which underground. None           S9.______
of the work, however, changed the appearing of the building. Many people             S10.______
asked why the President’s house is called the White House. Historians say

选项
答案去掉for
解析 用词不当。在句子中说明前后两个相等成份的关系时用except，否则用except for。本句是说每位美国总统，除了乔治·华盛顿，都曾在白宫居住过，Every American President与George Washington为对等成分，故应去掉 for。
