Rosa can speak Japanese _____ as a native speaker.
Rosa can speak Japanese ___ as a native speaker.
(A) more fluent
(B) fluently
(C) as fluent
(D) as fluently
The given answer is D, but I think both B and D are fine.
I think if we choose B as the answer, the sentence means Rosa is a native speaker and she can speak Japanese well. Is it correct?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
