GWD-9-Q25:

Unlike a female grizzly bear in the Rockies, which typically occupies a range of 50 to 300 square miles, a male’s range will cover 200 to 500 and occasionally as many as 600.

A. Unlike a female grizzly bear in the Rockies, which typically occupies a range of 50 to 300 square miles, a male’s range will cover 200 to 500 and occasionally as

B. Unlike the range of a female grizzly bear in the Rockies, typically occupying 50 to 300 square miles, a male will cover 200 to 500 and occasionally so

C. While the typical range of a female grizzly bear in the Rockies is 50 to 300 square miles, with males, their range can cover 200 to 500 square miles and occasionally so

D. Whereas a female grizzly bear in the Rockies typically occupies a range of 50 to 300 square miles, a male will cover 200 to 500 and occasionally as

E. The typical range of a female grizzly bear in the Rockies is 50 to 300 square miles, unlike males, which will cover 200 to 500 square miles and occasionally as

正确答案D为什么后面用将来时a male will??

I think it's always better to think about why the other choices are wrong, rather than why the key is correct.

A, B, E, unlike不平行。

C, so错误，不是否定句，应该用as many as.

D是不是省略了a range of  啊??

我在做題的時候一直糾纏於range, 覺得沒有一個選項對的... 總覺得一隻熊怎麼能cover 200 to 500 square miles呢...(a male will cover...)

Cover has lots of meanings. It can mean "travel to certain distance"

from a dictionary:

He once covered a mile in three minutes. 他有一次在三分钟内跑了一英里。

那只能用排除法了? 如果把WILL改成CAN,就肯定好不犹豫的选它了.

偶觉得更准确的意思应该是：To have as one's territory or sphere of work.引自金山词霸

不是将来时，will作为情态动词有好多的意思，比如

Used to indicate customary or habitual action:
经常，惯于，总是：用于表示经常性或习惯性的动作：
People will talk.
人们总是说三道四

Used to indicate probability or expectation:
可能，大概：用于表示可能性、猜测：
That will be the messenger ringing.
可能是送信的人在按铃

这些用法里面will都不是表示将来发生的动作

我想问问，对于C。

with males放在句子中间，是不是也挺怪的？

在语法上有没有问题呢？请指教！
