<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.

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

<u>he was the first person to produce a commercial printer;</u>

<u>Yes</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

it is important to note that prior to his invention, written publications weren't available. In about 1453 Johannes Gutenberg's invention allowed for books to be printed using movable type ffor the first time; such as his own Bible translation called the Gutenberg Bible.

Net Skeptics (those not in support of internet publishing) would be a fan of Gutenberg since they prefer hard copy books than digital formats and because he brought about the mass distribution of written literture.
