Answer 1

Here, the correct answer is "also too sweet."

Key Points

The error in the sentence is in the use of "to" instead of "too" in the phrase "to sweet."
The correct word is "too," indicating an excessive degree.
This version maintains consistency and uses the correct form of "too" to convey the idea of excessive sweetness.
We must remove the redundant "as well" at the end of the sentence.
The use of "too" already indicates excess, so "as well" is unnecessary.
The correct answer is Option 4.

Correct sentence: The dessert was not just extremely hot but also too sweet.
