这是一道选择题 选项A:A. something, but toB. nothing, except toC . something, butD. nothing, except是选B吗? 为什么?

(2)不定式:A cold-blooded animal has no choice but to lie down and sleep.冷血动物别无选择,只好躺下来睡觉.(注:这种句型中的不定式通常要带to;但当其前面的动词是do,或只有情态动词时,but后面的不定式要省去to.例如:He did nothing but sleep all day long.他什么也不干,成天睡觉.
I can but obey it.(= I can do nothing but obey it.)我只能服从
