27.  Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states that still has a sizable wolf population, and where this predator remains the archenemy of cable and sheep.

(A)  that still has a sizable wolf population,and where
(B)  that still has a sizable wolf population,where
(C)  that still has a sizable population of wolves,and where
(D)  where the population of wolves is still sizable;
(E)  where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where

Parallelism
The sentence is making two points about Minnesota,but one point is introduced by that and the other is introduced by where.The same word should be used to introduce each point;either that…and that or where...and where.
A  That still has…and where are not parallel.
B In this construction,the where clause modifies wolf population rather than Minnesota.
C  That still has…and where are not parallel.
D  While grammatically correct, this sentence needs a conjunction to show the logical relationship between the two independent clauses rather than the semi-colon that implies their equality.
E  Correct.The use of where…and where creates two parallel clauses that clearly modify Minnesota.
The correct answer is E.

有关 where  的修飾问题,E的WHERE为啥不是修飾FORTY-EIGHT STATES而是隔远修飾MINNESOTA?
诚心求教,谢谢!

因为定语从句谓语是is,而且the only 修饰one of +复数名词 that 谓语用单数

A +prep+B, where/which引导的从句
引导词where/which修饰的是A,除非是A of B,且A是百分比的情况,是根据B确定的
