Choose the most suitable option to replace the underlined part of the sentence :

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer
as well as
Explanation
The sentence requires a comparison of an action (sings). To modify a verb, we must use the adverb "well" instead of the adjective "good".
Furthermore, when using the equative comparison construction "as... as", the adjective or adverb placed in the middle must remain in its positive degree (well), not its comparative degree (better). Therefore, "as better as" must be replaced with "as well as".
Key Points
Grammar Rule: The structure is as + positive adverb/adjective + as.
Adverb vs. Adjective: Use well to modify the action verb "sings". Use good only when modifying a noun (e.g., "She is as good as a trained vocalist").
