曼哈顿论坛上对于as well 用法的解释: https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/forums/boomerang-impulse-shopping-t13477.html
While this is a small point (and one that the GMAT probably wouldn't require you to solely rely on to choose a correct answer), it is something that we often misuse when it comes to using proper written English:
I want money and fame: I want these two things equally
I want money as well as fame; I want money and also fame; I want money and fame too: Each of these phrases says- I want money first but I would also like fame
It's a matter of priorities and where the emphasis is placed in a list of items. "And" puts things on equal footing.
Now let's look at the meaning in D:
Someone (who comes in for a basketball) will:
(1) leave with a basketball only
and
(2) not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang.
The emphasis in this sentence is not that someone who comes in for a basketball should not be allowed to buy skis or a boomerang, but that when they leave with a basketball, they are "not also buying a pair of skis and a boomerang"
Since you could plug in "also" into the second parallel element, "as well" should also be able to work.
