if as is used before critical then some thing is to be added after critical.

.....for war-prone countries considered advances in technology as (a) critical (factor etc) to their success in the event of a war.

Diagnostic Verbal Test No. 5 Q#15 SC

Preparation to the Second World War witnessed a massive increase in the funding of science for military use, such as the Manhattan Atomic Bomb project, advanced radar technology and new initiatives in rocket propulsion, for war-prone countries considered advances in technology critical] to their success in the event of a war.

(A) such as the Manhattan Atomic Bomb project, advanced radar technology and new initiatives in rocket propulsion, for war-prone countries considered advances in technology critical.

(B) for the Manhattan Atomic Bomb project, advanced radar technology and for new initiatives in rocket propulsion, for war-prone countries considered advances in technology critical

(C) like the Manhattan Atomic Bomb project, advanced radar technology and new initiatives in rocket propulsion, for war-prone countries considered advances in technology to be critical

(D) such as the Manhattan Atomic Bomb project, advanced radar technology and new initiatives in rocket propulsion, for war-prone countries considered advances in technology as critical

(E) ; such as the Manhattan Atomic Bomb project, advanced radar technology and new initiatives in rocket propulsion, for war-prone countries considered advances in technology are critical

OA: A

OE:
A Correct choice that uses ‘such as’ for marking examples and consider X, Y while using consider.
B: awful construction missing prepositional parallelism badly
C: Use of ‘like’ to denote examples is wrong; considered to be critical is wrong

I answered A, but i think that in option A , comma (,) is missing before and. Am I mistaken ?

Hello
We never use a comma before "and" for a list of items.
For example:
"X, Y and Z" is correct.
"X, Y, and Z" is incorrect.

Hope it helps.

I like apples,grapes,and pears. This statement is correct isn't ?

MG-SC says that whenever one sees 'and' after a comma, we should check for two possibilities :
1) a list (apples,grapes,AND pears)

2) Two main clauses (I like apples, AND she likes grapes

that is definitely wrong. that's the British way of constructing a sentence, which I have learnt. The GMAT way teaches you to list (A, B, and C) OR (A and B). I'm sure of this because this rule stood out to me too.

there are two things to gain from here.
1. Such as is used for examples
2. X Considered Y is correct idiom not considered as/ to be, which are WRONG.

So Answer is only A.
