22.   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被动笨拙，be depicted to be 错

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

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

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

Choice A is best. In choice B, depicted to be is unidiomatic. (错误用法) The phrase in films about the American West is misplaced in choice C so that one cannot tell whether it indicates where the distant hills are, where the animals howl, or where coyotes are depicted as solitary creatures; the phrase should appear next to the word it is meant to modify. (？？？) Choice D is wordy and awkward, and choice E contains the fault depict…to be. This question is a little more difficult than the average.

The phrase in films about the American West is misplaced in choice C so that one cannot tell whether it indicates where the distant hills are, where the animals howl, or where coyotes are depicted as solitary creatures; the phrase should appear next to the word it is meant to modify. (？？？)这句是什么意思啊 读了好几遍 没有读懂

我认为C有歧义是指山脉在电影里 就跟OG的另一题 火山在信里爆发

不明白OG说的是什么

谢谢

OG的意思是说地点状语in films修饰对象有问题，容易造成歧义，究竟是山在电影里，还是动物在电影里嚎叫，还是coyote在电影里被拍成是孤独的动物。从句子意思来看，应该是最后一种情况，而地点状语一般应该是就近修饰，就是第一种情况，所以会造成歧义。

rhod  讲得真好 这就是实力和水平

我的阅读还没过关 唉
