求教一道语法V（关于REGARD的用法）

alex

Many scholars [U]regard the pre-Hispanic civilizations of Peru as[/U] the most impressive in South America.
A.
B. regard the pre-Hispanic civilizations of Peru to be
C. regard the pre-Hispanic civilizations of Peru to have been
D. consider that the pre-Hispanic civilizations of Peru are
E. consider the pre-Hispanic civilizations of Peru as

这道题的答案为（A），但我觉得A和E没有任何区别。据我自己以前的理解：consider(regard)... to be + adj. 而consider(regard)...as + n. 所以这道题的答案应该选（B）。

请问哪位能够释疑？谢谢！

Thanks for your clarification, I roughly checked all OG questions for the principle you rendered. It works.
