"It seems like there was nothing we could do" expresses a feeling of helplessness or inability to change a situation. If you'd like to rephrase it or need advice on how to deal with such feelings, I'm here to help. Could you provide more context about the situation you're referring to?

There was nothing we could do _______ wait at that moment.
A. but
B. rather than
C. in spite of
D. besides

A

解析

在介词but,except,besides后跟不定式做宾语时,如果介词前有do及其变化形式时,不定式可省略to。选项中A、D均符合此用法,但but意为“除了……”,besides意为“除了……还……”。根据句意选A。
