(A) Europa has long been considered far too cold to support life, and with
(B) Europa has long been considered far too cold to support life, its
(C) Europa has long been considered as far too cold to support life and has
(D) Europa, long considered as far too cold to support life, and its
(E) Europa, long considered to be far too cold to support life, and to have
will provide OA after explanations. Answer must be B First of all we do have to consider the correct usage of "With". ex- "With 4 childrens at home, Rachel barely has any spare time for her hobbies". Notice that the two clauses of the above sentence are reinforcing into each other. So the sentence must complete after the second clause. If it does'nt, then the third clause must be a modifier, modifying the preceding clause. B does it correctly. ", its 60 square miles of water thought to be frozen from top to bottom" is an absolute phrase that is modifying " Europa has long been considered far too cold to support life". Whats the OA and the source? -s

Yes; the answer must be B We can ditch C, D and E since all these three choices are using gmatically wrong idiom considers as and consider to be Between A and B, we can follow Marcab’s point. But, I have different question to GMAT PILL? What exactly is the text trying to convey by saying that Europa has 60 square miles of frozen water from top tobottom. Is it referring to the depth of the ice from top to bottom? Then, does that mean 60 miles of depth frozen water all over its surface? . Or does it mean that Europa has only 60 square miles of ice, less than an eight miles square. Normally, I thought ice is measured in cubic volumes and not in square volumes. Just for my curiosity, please.
