The correct answer is '1' i.e. Conjunction .

Key Points

  • The phrase "as well as" is used in the sentence to connect the subject "She" with "her sister".
  • "As well as" acts as a conjunction to add additional information to the main subject.
  • Even though it connects two subjects, the verb "is" agrees with the first subject, "She," as the second subject is part of a parenthetical phrase.

Correct sentence: She as well as her sister is engaged.

Additional Information

  • Conjunction: A word used to connect clauses, sentences, or words (e.g., "and," "or," "but").
  • Preposition: A word placed before a noun or pronoun to show its relation to another word in the sentence (e.g., "in," "on," "under").
  • Adjective: A word that describes or modifies a noun (e.g., "beautiful," "tall").
  • Adverb: A word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb (e.g., "quickly," "very").
