Although quite powerful in his time, the 16th century Russian czar Ivan the Terrible seems to us as a remote and barely visible historical figure.

to us as a remote and barely visible historical figure
to us to be as a remote and barely visible figure of history
to us a remote and barely visible figure of history
to us a remote and barely visible historical figure
to us to be a remote and barely visible historical figure

SEEMS AS - not correct idiom; drop A/B
SEEMS TO BE - indicate that is going to happen in future; Drop B/E

Historical Figure VS Figure of History

Just to test: REMOTE Historical Figure VS REMOTE Figure of History - I will prefer 1st one; IMO D (but will be glad to know the OE for [spoiler]C/D[/spoiler])

Hi,

The OA is D as rightly explained.....

The OE will be like this for C & D:

C - Seems to is the correct idiom usage with present tense following it. But the meaning changes here to figure of history (meaning one of a figure illustrating history - no importance). Hence eliminate this option

D - Seems to is the correct idiom usage with present tense following it. The meaning of the original sentence is preserved


Other explanations for the other options are not included as you have explained those already.

I am unable to find similar stand on seems as being unidiomatic. Can you please explain with other examples.
