1.        Although films about the American West depict coyotes as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills, in reality these gregarious creatures live in stable groups that occupy the same territory for long periods.

(A) films about the American West depict coyotes as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills

(B) in films about the American West coyotes are depicted to be solitary animals that howl mournfully on the tops of distant hills

(C) coyotes are depicted as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills in films about the American West

(D) films about the American West depict coyotes as if they were solitary, mournfully howling animals on the tops of distant hills

(E) films about the American West depict coyotes to be solitary and mournfully howling animals on the tops of distant hills

BDE很好排除，答案选A，可能认为C用了被动语态吧，但A我觉得含有一个逻辑错误，因为depict的动作发出者应该是人呀，电影本身不可能去depict的，只能是在影片中depict的，而且在C中用的in films，和句子后面的in reality 非常的对称！哪位牛人能解释一二，谢谢先！

1. 这可能是个错误的印象，fimls depict没错，再举个例子：Cuban films depict life during revolution.

在C中用的in films，和句子后面的in reality 非常的对称！

2. C用了被动，这里的对称就没有了意义，更重要的是in films在句中的位置，会造成歧义。

还有一点看法：C中将films 在原句中作主语改变成介词的宾语，改变了原句的强调重心。

C用了被动，这里的对称就没有了意义

我的原意是C用了被动，跟A的主动比，C就错了(这里主动表达更清楚），这样对称就没有了意义。被动和对称没有意义应该是没有前后必然联系的。不好意思！
