<p>Long A(one of the) favorite characters B(of) American folklore, Hiawatha C(is) best known D(to be) the hero of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s narrative poem The Song of Hiawatha. E(No error)</p>

<p>I understand that D is incorrect, but I don’t understand what A is in this sentence: Long one of the favorite characters… I sounds weird to me- what does it mean?</p>

<p>Also, could B be “in” instead of “of”?</p>

2

<p>What bout “as” for D instead? Can someone explain when to use ‘to be’ or ‘as’?</p>

<p>Edit: Didn’t read what you said, nvm lol. Yeah I’m not sure how A functions in there either.</p>

3

<p>its “as” but I need an explanation as well</p>

<p>Long just means for a long time. If you have a sentence like “He was thought to be a heretic,” you could just say “He was thought a heretic” and you couldn’t say “He was thought as a heretic.” However, “He was known as a heretic” can not be written “He was known a heretic.” </p>

<p>So if the sentence doesn’t sound good if you leave that part out, then it needs to be “as.”</p>
