A and B are wrong because ‘[color=#0000FF]will regard’[/color] and ‘will be regarded’ are more definitive than speculative
B and E use ‘regards’, a plural noun, which is wrong in the context
In D, ‘is to be regarded’ is unidiomatic and more authoritative than expectative

In option A, the role at the end of the sentence is wrong.
Someone is regarded as something not for some role.

Please explain.

The general rules governing the use of the words "Regard" and "Regards" (often confused and at times confusing!)

1) "Regard to" or "In Regard to" -- are correct
2) "Regards to" or "In Regards to" -- are incorrect expressions
3) As Regards -- is CORRECT and in this case of course is used as a verb
4) With Regards or Regards -- used as closing phrases in letters (Noun)


That said -- this question does not seem to have a correct choice.

Choice A makes no sense -- The former president will be highly regarded as the Fed Chairman (Not role -- !)

Choice A as written is incorrect.

Choice B -- incorrect usage

Choice C and D are obviously wrong

Choice E -- wrong verb (should be held -- not hold)

So does it mean that this question is dead wrong? Will somebody confirm is there is a correct choice?

A is wrong. President (person) regarded as role? This is like wrong comparison. President & "new federal advisor" is good. president & "new federal advisor role" wrong.

Hi mikemcgarry,

Please provide your inputs here.

How can someone be regarded as " a role"? The moment I checked role, I canceled A out of my choices.

Also,Is the phrase "regarded to do well" correct? Please help.

if we remove "role" at the end of the sentence, will then option A be considered as correct ?
