Answer 2

Answer:

I am telling you nothing but the truth

Explanation:

• The word "But" is a conjunction or joining word.

• "But" is a Co-ordinate Conjunction.

The Co-ordinating conjunctions are of 4 types -

1. Adversative Conjunction - It expresses opposite or contrast. For example - "but", "still", "yet" etc.
2. Alternative Conjunction - It expresses a choice between two alternatives. For example - "or", "else", "otherwise" etc.
3. Illative Conjunction - It expresses cause or reason of an action. For example - "for", "so", "hence", "therefore" etc.
4. Cumulative Conjunction - It adds one statement or phrase or clause to another. For example - "and", "both...and", "not only...but also" etc.

Thus, But is an Adversative Conjunction.

Here, "But" is used to denote the sense that I am telling only the truth and there is no lie in it. To put stress on the fact that I am telling the truth only, the conjunction "But" is used.

Hence, it is - I am telling you nothing but the truth.
