The correct answer is "as well as."
The sentence suggests that the marching band ran as fast as they could toward the buses in order to avoid getting soaked by the rain, in addition to the members of the football team.
The correct answer is "instead of."
Based on the given sentence, the correct answer is "instead of."
To arrive at this answer, let's break down the sentence and understand its structure:
"The marching band, as well as the members of the football team, ran as fast as they could toward the buses, instead of avoiding getting soaked by the rain."
The phrase "as well as" is used to introduce another group or entity that is in addition to the main subject. In this case, it includes both the marching band and the members of the football team.
However, the phrase "instead of" indicates that the actions of the marching band and the members of the football team (running toward the buses) were done in place of another action (avoiding getting soaked by the rain).
Therefore, the correct answer from the list is "instead of."
