Known as vs. Known to be

<p>No one but a fool would readily lend money to a person who is known to be a frequent gambler. No error</p>

<p>Answer: E</p>

<p>From previous experience, I thought that College Board doesn't accept "known to be".
What is the difference between the two anyway?</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>Well... if you remove to be out of the sentence it would make "is known a frequent gambler" and I don't think (I think) there's any other way to replace to be</p>

<p>I guess known as only goes when the person is being given a permanent title like teacher or manager. 'm not too sure about this though.</p>

<p>That sentence sounds fine!</p>

<p>Yeah this makes sense. Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>Neither Known as nor Known to be is wrong. i think thats where your getting confused, because they both work. Thus the sentence is correct as it is, but its also correct if they put AS.</p>

<p>Yup. 'known as' usually describes professions like teacher or scientist.</p>

<p>Thanks guys</p>

<p>Known as and Known to be are both correct. </p>

<p>Also, @ killer: you cannot delete the underlined section as a correction :)</p>
