I just wanted to understand whether the usage of 'recognize a.... to be' in the option C is correct or not?[Is it idiomatic... It seems awkward to me...like 'consider to be' is idiomatic ] I know that this option is wrong because of the placement of 'that'... also know that the correct option is 'B'.
Thanks
