Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I can't speak English as ___________ my elder brother.

• A. good as
• B. fluently as
• C. better than
• D. well

Answer 1

The correct option is B fluently as

A positive degree of adjectives is the base form of the adjective or adverb. It does not show comparison. In this sentence, no comparison is being done or the blank needs a positive degree of the adjective which would not show any comparison. This form: as.... adverb/adjective..... as is used while comparing between two things which are in the same level or two thing that do not differ in a certain property. In this sentence Option A and B are two options. Now if we look into verb "speak". To describe verb "speak", "fluently" is better adverb as it means smoothly graceful and effortless. On the other hand, "good" means to be desired or approved of.

Option B is correct.
