This is a bad question , want to know its source as it uses "sufficently and enough" together and "considered to be" as already highligted . I chose E
1. I could not understand what you meant by
"sufficiently and enough" together. If you clarify this query a bit, then we may discuss further.
2. Correct idiom: Consider X Y - Here "to be" is
outside the idiom structure: X =
which, Y =
prestigious.
Which (X) is considered prestigious(Y) ... usage is alright and in line with the correct idiomatic structure mentioned above.
Another example: I am old enough to be the captain. ("to be" has no bearing with the verb "is")
Similarly,
I consider you old enough to be the captain. ( "to be" has no bearing with the verb"consider")
Hi,
I will clarify my point :
Spanish guitarist and composer Andres Segovia led the twentieth-century revival of the classical guitar, which was not considered sufficiently prestigious enough to be a concert instrument.
1. what is the difference between "sufficiently" and "enough" , I think both are modifying "prestigious " with the same intention and meaning.
2. here , guitar is considered to be a concert instruement .
"Consider" doesn't take
as or
to be , take below example for wrong usage :
The President of the United States is
considered to be the most powerful person in the world.
In the example provided by you usage is correct becuase there it is
considered you to be something .
Your point 2:
No, Guitar is not considered a concert instrument: Guitar is considered prestigious - how much prestigious? enough to be a concert instrument.
There is no difference between my example above and option D except that one is in active voice and the other passive. OK I shall try with another example:
I consider you beautiful. Correct
You are considered beautiful. Correct
I consider you beautiful enough to be the lead actress. Correct
You are considered beautiful enough to be the lead actress. Correct
Now compare:
which is considered prestigious enough to be a concert instrument.
Do you see the point now?
your point 1: Yes, you are right. "sufficiently" and "enough" are both correct in this context. One cannot eliminate answer on the basis of this split: and there is no answer choice, which has been eliminated here because of this split.
