Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: as well as — this phrase means 'in addition to' or 'also', so the sentence states that Gauri can play the keyboard too, like her sister.
Key rule: Use 'as well as' to add someone or something (means 'also' or 'in addition to').
Comparatives: Do not use 'as better as' or 'as worse as'. For superiority or inferiority use 'better than' or 'worse than' (example: 'Gauri can play the keyboard better than her sister').
Superlatives and equality: 'as nicest as' is wrong because 'nicest' is a superlative. To show equality use the base adjective with 'as ... as' (example: 'as nice as').
Quick tip: Choose 'as well as' here if you mean that both Gauri and her sister can play the keyboard. If you want to say Gauri is better, use 'better than'.
