<span>The correct answer is B.

In this sentence, "but" is used as a preposition before a noun, and the full prepositional phrase is "but work."

In the other three sentences, "but" is used as a coordinating conjunction in compound sentence. In these sentences, "but" joins two independent clauses to form a compound sentence.

It is only in sentence B that "but" functions as a preposition.</span>

Answer: The sentence in which "but" is used as a preposition is B. We discovered that Candy will do anything but work.

Explanation: A preposition is a word used to express a relation between two elements in the sentence<u>. Although "but" is mainly used as a conjunction, it can also be used as a preposition. In sentence B., "but" is functioning as a preposition and its meaning is "except"</u>; therefore, what the speaker is trying to say is that Candy will do anything except work. In contrast, in options A., B. and C., "but" has been used as a conjunction.

PLS HELP ASAP THIS IS DUE TODAY. Write a sonnet about nature .​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

(NOT MY SONNET)

Explanation:

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Which type of sentence is this? Belle is a competitive horseback rider, and she will be competing in the next World Equestrian G
Neko [114]

Answer:

compound-complex

Explanation:

A compound-compex sentence is one that comprises more than one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. As you may already know, the dependent clauses are those that cannot send a message on their own, as they need a complement to make sense. The independent clauses, however, are the clauses that manage to send messages on their own.

In the question aciam we have an example of compound-compex sentence. That's because "Belle is a competitive horseback rider" is an independent clause, "she will be competing in the next World Equestrian Games" is more of an independent clause, while "which are held every four years" is a dependent clause.
