我当时一看到这题认为 the coyote 表示的是一类，谓语应该用复数，可是答案是C，抑郁啊。版主救我。NN救我。走过路过也不要错过。

这个，你起码要保证前后的谓语是一致的啊

真有版主来救我了。。。感动。版主的话，没看太明白。C中the coyote has是对的么？感觉明显主谓不一致啊。其他的问题还是明白的。就这一点额，版主，救我。

B项的ability of doing是错的吧。。。

我查了几个字典都没有这个说法，只能说ability of someone/something

and BTW i think coyote can be both collective noun and singular noun--it is not the point though

And another explanation can be that “because of” cannot lead a word that has lots of attributives—that is perhaps also why “because of…of….” structure is always regarded wordy.

Clear?

"subject to the same wild-animal control efforts" 为了要谓语一致，主语只可以用coyote . A,D,E 错

"because of its amazing ability" 有了 its , coyote 所以是单数，所以 C

明白了你的意思。可是the coyote 不是表示一类？

由于是coyote subject to, 所以这道题只在B和C当中选。B显然错，前面用its，后面又用了their。所以选C。
