Official Explanation:
Read the Original Sentence Carefully, Looking for Errors:
The underlined portion contains the incorrect idiomatic phrase “consider … as.” The word consider should stands on its own, as in She considers golf a relaxing sport.
Scan and Group the Answer Choices:
A scan of the choices reveals that (A) and (E) use “consider ... as,” (B) uses "consider ... to be,” (C) changes "as" to "become," and (D) ends in "writing skills."
Eliminate Wrong Answer Choices:
(A), (B), and (E) contain the idiomatically incorrect idioms “consider … as” or “consider … to be” and can be eliminated. (A) and (B) also create a new error, with the ambiguous pronoun “them” having no clear antecedent. (E) inappropriately adds the contrast keyword “which”; this isn’t needed, since there’s already a contrast keyword, “but,” after the underlined portion.
(C) changes the meaning of the sentence. The original sentence relates what the hiring managers think of the current importance of writing skills. They consider these skills not necessary right now. (C), however, says the managers are neglecting to consider that writing skills will become necessary in the future. Eliminate (C).
(D) is correct because it is the only choice to use an acceptable form of the idiom, “consider …” and does not introduce new errors into the sentence.
TAKEAWAY: Idioms are commonly tested on the GMAT. There is no logic to idioms and nothing to analyze. They simply must be memorized!
