In Bangladesh, the possibility of floods are regarded by most residents with a mixture of bravado and caution

A. are regarded by most residents with
B. is regarded by most residents with
C. is regarded by most residents as
D. is mostly regarded by residents with
E. by most residents is regarded with

[spoiler]My answer is C, but the answer as per winners guide to GMAT is B. I thought "regarded as" is the correct idiom. Can someone explain why the answer is B & not C?[/spoiler]

Correct ans is B

subject is singular hence use of " is "

I chose B over C as C doesn't sound proper " C mean flood is considered as bravado and caution

Hi Kartik1979,

"doesn't sound proper" is not a good reason for answering SC questions in GMAT. "Regarded.... with" is idiomatically not correct.

Can someone explain?

kartick97 is right. C changes the meaning.

"regard with" is correct idiom as well. it means "treated with" and is different from "regard as" which means "considered"

its all right to say: " the actor was regarded with affection/honour etc"

C (regard as) seems to mean: possibility of floods is a mixture of bravado and caution :)

B (regard with) the intended meaning: possiblity of floods is treated with a mixture of bravado and caution

Thank you Scoobydooby. That's a neat explanation.
