有没有CONSIDER TO BE + ADJECTIVE？？？

请看这题: (GWD 24)

24-41 In California, a lack of genetic variation in the Argentine ant has allowed the species to spread widely; due to their being so genetically similar to one another, the ants consider all their fellows to be a close relative and thus do not engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limits the spread of this species in its native Argentina.

A) Due to their being so genetically similar to one another, the ants consider all their fellows to be a close relative and thus do not engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limits

B) Due to its being so genetically similar the ant considers all its fellows to be a close relative and thus does not engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limit

C) Because it is so genetically similar, the ants considers all its fellows to be a close relative and thus does not engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limits

D) Because they are so genetically similar to one another, the ants consider all their fellows to be close relatives and thus do not engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limit

E) Because of being so genetically similar to one another, the ants consider all their fellows to be a close relative and thus do not engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limits

答案是D.而D里的表达: CONSIDER  A  TO  BE   B是正确的.当然,关于这道题,有两种说法:一,是CONSIDER  A  TO  BE   B没有语法问题.只不过ETS更prefer Consider A B. 二,是GWD可能把这道题给记错了.

不过,就我个人认为,我是倾向于,第一种可能.毕竟CONSIDER  A  TO  BE   B表达并没有错,只不过是不够简洁而已.
