Correct Answer: No improvement


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The original sentence "He was considered a genius by his school headmaster" is grammatically correct. It uses the past tense "was considered" to convey the action of being regarded as a genius in the passive voice. The phrase "was to be considered" would change the meaning, suggesting an intention or future consideration, which is not the intended sense in this context.

So, the correct sentence would be: "He was considered a genius by his school headmaster."
