<p>[In addition to Hindus and Buddhists,] the religion of Jainism developed within the ancient civilization of India.</p>
<p>A In addition to Hindus and Buddhists,
B As well as Hinduism and Buddhism,
C Hinduism, Buddhism, and also
D Along with Hinduism and Buddhism,
E Hindus and Buddhists, in addition to </p>
<p>The right answer is D, but why B is wrong?</p>
<p>I am pretty sure you can't start a sentence with "as well as." It essentially means "and/also." It is easier to see how awkward the sentence is if you write it like this: "And Hinduism and Buddhism, the religion of Jainism developed within the ancient civilization of India." In this situation, you need to use "along with" because it is starting the sentence, and it is comparing how Jainism developed in the same place as the other two religions.</p>
