The sentence in which the word <em>but </em>is used as a preposition is the last one - D. We discovered that Candy will do anything but work.

Answer:

"I realized that no one in the world could equal her."

Explanation:

"The Pillow Book" by Sei Shonagon provides a detailed account of life in the Court of Japanese royalty during the eleventh century. The book serves as an impressive insight into the life of palace royalty, infused with lively gossip, lively observations, and also brought forth the genre of "assorted writing" in literature.

The narrator/ speaker describes what she saw on the Empress and Shigei Sha. She admits that the<em> "Shigei Sha . . . was magnificent, . . . [and] extraordinarily pretty"</em>. But to her, the Empress, with <em>"her tranquil expression, her charming features which had recently taken on a more adult cast, and her complexion which went so beautifully with her scarlet clothes, </em><u><em>I realized that no one in the world could equal her.</em></u><em>" </em>

This supports her conclusion that she was more impressed with the Empress.
