Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. She is not as taller as her.
The first section of the sentence has the error: "She is not as tall as her."
"As tall as" is the correct comparison to make, not "as taller as."
Since "taller" is a comparative adjective, the base form of the adjective—"tall"—should be used rather than the comparative form when comparing things using "as".
"She is not as tall as her older brother, but she is equally skilled in basketball," is the correct sentence.
