Consider X Y is the right idiom - So the only option left is B - Believe that should be an OA also........

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, also known as Pele to legions of soccer fans young and old, considered to be the greatest soccer player in the history of the sport.

STRIKED PART IS A MODIFIER.
BLUE HIGHLITED PART IS NAME ACTING AS A SUBJECT.

original sentence lacks a verb for the subject ...
moreover correct idiomatic usage is : CONSIDER X.Y
consider doesnt requires preposition..
so we need verb + consider without preposition ...
hence B

E) is considered as being


IMO B.

Option E is wrong because of "being" and "as" is not used with consider.
Option D is also wrong as...last clause should start with a verb.
Option B is concise and idiomatically correct.

I agree with all on this page.

The original sentence, version (A), lacks a verb --- it commits the famous missing verb mistake.
https://gmat.magoosh.com/lessons/914-the ... rb-mistake

The correct idiom in the active voice is: to consider P Q. Examples
I consider Goethe a genius.
I consider QQQ a sound investment.
I consider a day off a rare treat.
See
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/consider-t ... mat-idiom/
In the passive voice, the idiom is: P is considered Q.
Goethe is considered a genius.
QQQ is considered a sound investment.
A day off is considered a rare treat.
(Of course, stating those in the passive, without the original subject, makes them sound like generally revered truths!)
So, " .... Pele .. is considered the greatest soccer player." Only (B) gets the grammar and the idiom correct.

Dear animanga008,
Yes, that's 100% correct. This mistake is common in colloquial speech, so it's a deadly trap on the GMAT, because it is never correct.

Have come across questions where considered to be has been correct. So considered to be is usually taken as a suspect. considered X is preferred over considered to be but not that considered to be is incorrect.
