Hi,

Can u explain C option again...
Hi Gulrukh
Let me fill in for Priya

"As well as" is an additive and unlike "and" which makes the subject plural "as well as" takes singular form.
Ex: Ram as well as shyam KNOWS how to drive (correct)
Ram as well as shyam KNOW how to drive (wrong)

For the very same reason “the exquisite balance as well as the near gravity-defying grace of cats” should have verb “extends” rather than “extend”.

:-D
