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

这一题我不太懂为什么不选E。
根据Despite is a preposition and needs to be followed by a noun or a noun phrase，放在这里应该是没有问题啊，为什么不选？

虽然我们叫世界上最大的湖为海，但是世界上最大的湖是爱琴海。。。。

虽然我们叫爱琴海为海，但是爱琴海是世界上最大的湖。。。。

你觉得从逻辑意思上那句话像是正常人会说，正常人能听懂的？
这两句话都没有任何语法错误，就好比“包子吃我”和“我吃包子”都没有语法错误，但是我们立即知道哪个是错的。GMAT改错不只是挑语法错误，只要妨碍我们“说人话”的，都是错误。

E. Despite being called a sea, the largest lake on Earth is actually the landlocked Caspian, covering

being called a sea，这个非句很明显无主语，被省略了，是谁being called a sea，是主句的主语lake，那么连起来就是lake being called a sea，那么问题就出来了，不是湖被叫做海，而是爱情海被叫做海，所以个人认为E的问题主要出现逻辑主语上

你这个是错的：
因为主句是个主系表结构 A is B，此时看A与B是完全相等还是A是B的子集。
如果A=B，如本题情况，则逻辑主语没有问题。比如我是alzn2765，此时不管前面短语的逻辑主语是"我"还是alzn2765，都是同一个个体，逻辑意思完全相同。
如果A是B的子集，则逻辑主语有问题。比如我是天才。此时天才是一个比“我”更大的集合，则逻辑主语是“我”还是“天才”是有区别的。
Despite的逻辑主语并不是有效的Decision Point。
