The Indians,【C13】______ , lacked the military force and political power to protect this right.

A、nothing but
B、nothing
C、all but
D、all
答案
C
解析
考查副词短语的意义和用法。all but意为“几乎,差点”,如:She all but fainted when she heard the news.(听到这个消息时,她差点晕倒。)nothing but表示“只,只有”,如:We could do nothing but wait.(我们只有等了。)这里选择all but,表示“到1875为止,南方的野牛群几乎就灭绝了”。
