I have seen many examples [here](https://jlptsensei.com/learn-japanese-
grammar/%E3%81%A0%E3%81%91%E3%81%A7-dake-de-meaning/),
[here](https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%A0%E3%81%91) and
[here](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/jp/dictionary/japanese-
english/%E3%81%A0%E3%81%91) of the use of だけ and だけで.

But I am not sure if it can be used in an _imperative sentence_ such as "Only
read the text (and do not respond to the questions)" or "Only respond to
question 1".
