Choose the answer which best rewords the underlined portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

Spain is considered to be the fourth largest country in the euro zone.
  1. is considered to be
  2. is considered as
  3. is
  4. are
Explanation
Answer: C - The best choice is “is”

Wordy phrases can affect sentence clarity. Omitting “considered to be” does not change the sentence’s intended meaning. Since Spain is one country, “is” is the appropriate form of “to be” to use in the sentence.
