标题: OG13 48题两个提问，望各位NN不吝赐教！
48. It is called a sea, but the landlocked Caspian is actually the largest lake on Earth, which covers more than four times the surface area of its closest rival in size, North America's Lake Superior.

A. It is called a sea, but the landlocked Caspian is actually the largest lake on Earth, which covers
B. Although it is called a sea, actually the landlocked Caspian is the largest lake on Earth, which covers
C. Though called a sea, the landlocked Caspian is actually the largest lake on Earth, covering
D. Though called a sea but it actually is the largest lake on Earth, the landlocked Caspian covers
E. Despite being called a sea, the largest lake on Earth is actually the landlocked Caspian, covering

答案选C、
有两点疑问：
1.关于although，though的用法
搜了之前大家关于although引导从句时省略从句主语和谓语的帖子，知道有省略的这个用法。但是
OG13 SC17题C选项GMAC的解释为although typically introduce a subordinate clause,which has a subject and a verb......

所以GMAC到底是喜欢省略还是保留从句的主语呢？很纠结是不是啊？！

2. 关于-ving形式修饰名词，到底要不要紧跟修饰的名词呢？这里的covering more than four times the surface area of its closest rival in size肯定不可能修饰earth，肯定是修饰Caspian，所以可以放在这么远的地方吗？

多谢各位了~~open to discussion~

"even though" MUST be followed by a clause.
"although", however, can be followed by an adjective or adjective phrase: james, although bigger than many of the other players, is one of the fastest men on the team.

我觉得though 也是吧。。。~

我是觉得OG自己都矛盾啊，一会说从句主谓都要有，但是自己的例句里又省略，真不知道该怎么办
