Correct Answer: as well as


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation: The phrase "as well as" is used to indicate that the activities of reading and writing letters and numbers are complementary and go hand in hand.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • But: This would suggest a contrast, implying that reading is encouraged, but there might be a restriction or limitation in the encouragement for writing.

  • For: It indicates purpose or reason, it doesn't convey the sense of simultaneous or complementary actions.

  • Yet: It implies a contrast or unexpected result, which is not suitable in this context where the focus is on the coordination of reading and writing activities.
