Answer 2

Answer:

The words/phrases that can be used to fill the blanks are 1) better 2)as well as 3) well, and 4) but.

Explanation:

1) The word better is an adjective that shows that one thing is superior to another. It is a comparative degree of comparison and here compares Ruchi's skills as a programmer to that of Rahul. The word "than", hints at the usage of this word.

2) and 3) The phrase "as well as" is generally used to signify adding onto something. However, in this case, it suggests the meaning to be "as good as".

4) The word "but" is usually used as a conjunction. In this case, it is not a conjunction but begins the sentence making for a powerful argument.
