He was both a writer and a politician, but he was better ……. a singer

  1. as if
  2. like
  3. as ✓
  4. to be
Explanation

The sentence is “He was better known as a singer.” We use as after “known” to say what role or job someone is famous for.

“Like” would compare him to a singer without saying he was one. “Better to be” and “better as if” do not form a correct phrase here.
