19. To help preserve ancient Egyptian monuments threatened by high water tables, a Swedish engineering firm has proposed installing pumps, perhaps solar powered, to lower the underground water level and dig trenches around the bases of the stone walls.
(A) to lower the underground water level and dig trenches

(D) to be an extension(A)
(E) to extend
这题大家怎么看,我觉得选B比较合适,regard something as something;把airspace视为extent[范围]要比把airspace视为extending这个动作要好吧;后面是省略表达the extent (which is) upward;是不是说这里B的“the”不漂亮才不选B呢?
