265. During the first year after the corporate reorganization, no one considered the management was well-organized; managers were largely untrained and directionless.
(A) was well-organized
(B) well-organized
(C) were well-organized
(D) seemed to be well-organized
(E) seemed well-organized
OA is B
Please let me know if this is correct reason for OA to be correct?
During the first year after the corporate reoganization - phrase
no one considered the management well-organized.---- this is a clause - noone is subject, considered is verb and a clause must have a SV pair. It can have two verb if verbs are connected by a connector. so, was well-organized is wrong.

Quite right. Your reasoning is on sound grounds.
The correct sentence choice (B) is -
During the first year after the corporate reorganization, no one considered the management well-organized.
Also, notice the idiomatic usage of considered X in B. None of the choices have that.
E.g. He is considered a champion polo player.
