Best Answer

The question or interrogatory, 'What can you do' (followed with a question mark) asks a person to state or list the knowledge or skills they possess to handle a particular circumstance or problem. For examples:

  • The man asked the washer repair person 'What can you do?' He hoped the repairman knew the mechanics of washing machines and could do the repair correctly.
In a different kind of meaning:
  • A teen boy told his friend about a problem that was too challenging for a boy only 14 years old to solve. He witnessed someone doing something wrong, but was scared to tell anyone. The boy said, "I guess I need to go tell my dad." His friend answered, "What else can you do?" That means the boy arrived at the only logical choice or solution.
