Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The first blank requires a verb that indicates that the subject is aware of something. "Know" is the correct verb, and option A and C both have errors in this blank.
The second blank needs a verb that means to agree to something. "Accept" is the correct verb, and only option B has it.
The third blank requires a preposition indicating the time frame of the action. "By" is the correct preposition, and option A has "except" which makes no sense in this context, and option C has a spelling error with "no" instead of "know". Therefore, the correct answer is B.
