I have learnt that 'consider as' is always bad for gmat. I will take A.

can anyone explain why 'regard as' is better than 'consider as'.

is 'consider as' idiomatic construction in currect context??

'Regard as' is the correct idiom.

Consider (without the 'as') is the correct idiom. Correct sentence using consider:

Many scholars consider the pre-Hispanic civilizations of Peru (NO AS) the most impressive in South America.

"Consider + as" is always considered wrong in GMAT.
"Regards + as" is correct idiom.

CONSIDER (never followed by TO BE)
REGARD + AS (ALWAYS with AS)

This might be helpful in solving this:
Idioms-
Consider x y (no “to be”)
RIGHT: I consider Mark my friend.
WRONG: I consider Mark to be my friend.
Regard as
Correct: We regard him as part of the family.

Hence (A) seems correct.

" Consider X Y " is an idiom with built in parallel structure

X must be a noun (that you are describing ) and Y a noun OR adjective ( the level/designation OR the quality you are assigning to X)

'Regard as' is the correct idiom.

Consider (without the 'as') is the correct idiom. Correct sentence using consider:

Many scholars consider the pre-Hispanic civilizations of Peru (NO AS) the most impressive in South America.


How about "Many scholars consider the pre-Hispanic civilizations of Peru to be the most impressive in South America? I understand that that is not one of the options, but is it grammatically correct?
