Hello,

There is a mistake that comes after “considered to” in the second sentence of this test Question 8. According to oxfordadvancedlearnersdictio … y/consider, the correct structure is either “considered to be nuisance plants” or “considered as nuisance plants”. Could you please verify this matter?

Thank you.

Best wishes,

Ah, got your answer. As you say, the corrections we’ve been making don’t seem to be taking effect.
