To solve this question we need to know two idioms,
Regard X as Y
Consider X Y
And the only choice which follow the idiom is A
Regard X as Y
Consider X Y
And the only choice which follow the idiom is A
General Discussion
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.
- Brajesh
"Regards + as" is correct idiom.
- Brajesh
apache
classic question
CONSIDER + noun
CONSIDER (never followed by THAT)
CONSIDER (never followed by TO BE)
REGARD + AS (ALWAYS with AS)
I'd choose A.
Regard...as
Consider...to be
Regard...as
Consider...to be

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)
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)

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?
