Gauri said that she can play the keyboard __________ her sister. A. as well as B. as better as C. as nicest as D. as worse as

GATE 2021 · General Aptitude · Comparative Forms · medium

Answer: A. as well as

  1. Identify the comparison type: The sentence compares Gauri's ability with her sister's, suggesting equality. The 'as...as' equality structure is needed. Only the positive form of an adverb fits inside 'as...as'.
  2. Eliminate options with wrong degree form: 'as better as' (B) — 'better' is comparative, not positive. 'as nicest as' (C) — 'nicest' is superlative. 'as worse as' (D) — 'worse' is comparative. All three are grammatically incorrect inside 'as...as'.
  3. Confirm 'as well as': 'Well' is the correct positive adverb for ability or skill. 'Gauri can play the keyboard as well as her sister' means she plays with equal skill. This is grammatically correct.
