Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
Correct sentence: Mira is a good singer, but she cannot sing as well as her sister.
Rule: Use "as well as" to compare the degree or ability between two people or things. "As well as" is the standard comparative phrase here.
Why other choices are incorrect:
"so well like" is ungrammatical in this comparative context; it does not form the correct comparison.
"well like" is incorrect for comparing ability. If using "like" to indicate similarity of style, say "sing like her sister," but that does not compare ability.
"well as" is not the fixed phrase. The idiomatic comparative is "as well as."
