ESL/EFL Test #253 "Good, Well and Okay Test (1)", answer 8

Hockey players must skate extremely well in order to make it to the National Hockey League.

Correct answer: (b) well

Your answer was: incorrect
Hockey players must skate extremely good in order to make it to the National Hockey League.

My doubt is: "extremely" is an adverb as is well; I learned you can not use 2 adverbs one after the another.

Hi,

As you can see, your question has been answered incredibly quickly. There is no difficulty in one adverb qualifying another one - it is quite easily done.
