Question

She wants to become a musician. She wants to become a skilled writer.
(Combine using: as well as)

Hint:

When joining subjects with as well as, the verb always agrees with the first subject. For object complements, simply use it to join the nouns while avoiding repetition.

Answer 1

Step 1: Analyzing the Coordinate Elements:
Both sentences share the same subject and verb phrase (“She wants to become”). The two distinct elements we need to join are the nouns: “a musician” and “a skilled writer.”

Step 2: Eliminating Redundant Phrasing:
To write a clear, concise sentence, we remove the repeated verb phrase (“She wants to become”) from the second sentence.

Step 3: Combining with 'As Well As':
Using “as well as” as a coordinating coordinator, we join the two nouns: “She wants to become a musician as well as a skilled writer.”
