“What can we do but sit and wait?”

এখানে but হলো একটি preposition, কারণ এটি except অর্থে ব্যবহার হয়েছে। অর্থাৎ বাক্যটি বোঝায়: “আমরা *কিছুই করতে পারি না, শুধু বসে অপেক্ষা ছাড়া।”

But (Preposition):
Used as except, apart from, or other than.
উদাহরণ:

  • In Dhaka, we were never anything but poor.

  • I trusted no one but him.

অন্য অপশনগুলোর বিশ্লেষণ:

  1. It is but right to admit our faults.

    • এখানে but right শব্দকে modify করছে, তাই এটি preposition নয়।

  2. We tried hard, but did not succeed.

    • এখানে but হলো conjunction, কারণ এটি দুটি clause কে যুক্ত করেছে।

  3. There is no one but likes him.

    • এখানে but pronoun-এর কাজ করছে, কারণ এটি no one কে modify করছে।
