In which sentence is the word but used as a preposition?
A. Children should be seen but not heard.
B. John liked baseball but not football.
C. We would like to visit the Grand Canyon, but our vacation time is up.
D. None but the brave shall enter in.
I answered D, because the word but can serve as a preposition when it means except. Is my thinking correct?
