True V False

My question is pertaining to the yin and yang and logical opposites. I think what screwed me up was the word EXCEPT. It was not put onto the chart. So, if we have a question that states- Which of the following cannot be true Except -would it then be must be false which equates to not necessarily false so it could be true? But we would only do this when the sentence has EXCEPT. However if there is a question that states which of the following must be true it would mean it cannot be true. Am I getting this right? I feel like the T v F table should state all of these possible and viable options.

Except just means that the wrong answers will be of that category, and the right answer will not. So, for a must be true except, the wrong answers will all have to be true, and the correct answer is something that could be false. For a could be true except, the wrong answers all can be true, but the right one cannot be true, or must be false. Similarly for a could be false except, we have four wrong answers that can be false, and once that cannot be false, aka a must be true. Must be false except will have four things that must always be untrue, and then one that could be true.
