are considered

Silver

- Option 1: as well as

- This phrase is used to join two subjects, but it does not affect the verb's form.

- Option 2: as precious metals

- This part is correctly stating the role of silver and gold, so no error here.

- Option 3: are considered

- This is the problematic segment. The correct verb should be "is considered" because "Silver," the main subject, is singular.

- Correct answer.

- Option 4: Silver

- This is the main subject of the sentence and is correctly used.
