Answer 1

Option A. as well as

as nice as, as good as, as well as, as perfect as, as cute as, as joyful as, as pretty as

All will fit in as all are in their FIRST degree.

$$\begin{array}{c|c|c}\hline \textbf{Adjective} & \textbf{Comparative} & \textbf{Superlative} \\ \hline
\text{good}& \text{better}&\text{best} \\
\text{bad}& \text{worse}&\text{worst} \\
\text{little}& \text{less}&\text{least} \\
\text{much}& \text{more}&\text{most} \\ \hline
\end{array}$$

Answer 2

Option (A) is correct

Option (B)/(D) better/worse are comparative so they should be followed by than.

Option (C) nicest is superlative degree which expresses the highest form of an adjective, doesn’t fit here.

But if  as well as is used , won't the sentence mean gauri could play guitar and gauri could also play  her sister?

---

Yes, it could mean they both can play guitar or they both play equallly good.

---

No. Then it would have been written as “she as well as her sister can play the keyboard”. Here, “as well as” means “as good as”.

Answer 4

If we have a doubt between A and B So to clarify, if Better is correct than worse is also correct Thats specifies that these 2 are not going to be correct because of single choice question. So ultimately we left with as well as.
