3 分析
(1) 在GMAT-SC中，當看到劃線部分有credit並且用作動詞時，首先應該想到與with搭配，排除(A) (B) (C); consider的正確用法是consider X Y, regard 的正確用法是regard as, regard ... to be 是錯誤的用法，排除(D), 所以正確選項是(E)。

considered to be 和considered as都是錯誤的表達
RIGHT: consider x y --> I consider her a friend / I consider illegal the law

consider x should be y
consider x as if it y
