这四组单词好难区分，麻烦用英语解释下，不要中文意思，好的话再加分，谢谢

accede, exceed

Accede means to agree, to allow; exceed means to go beyond, to surpass, as in
“Drivers who exceed the speed limit are asking for hefty fines.”

accept, except

Not commonly seen even from unpublished writers, who are probably familiar with the difference because they’re all waiting for an acceptance!
“We accept your invitation to your party, except for Bill, who will be away on that day.”

However, I recently saw (on a publisher’s web site!) the statement, “ We are excepting submissions … ” Can you believe it?

adapt, adept, adopt

Adapt means to adjust, adept means skilled and adopt means to take as your own:
“Some people cannot adapt to new surroundings.”

“He tends to adopt the attitudes of those around him.”

adverse, averse

Adverse means inauspicious, hostile; averse means disinclined, repelled.
“I’m very much averse to making a long, arduous journey under such adverse weather conditions.”
