The coyote is one of several recent ecological success stories: along with the white-tailed deer, the moose, and other species that are enlarging their natural domains, they have established themselves as supreme adapters in an era when the capability to adjust to the environmental changes wrought by human beings has created a whole new class of dominant large mammals.

(E)
they have established themselves as supreme adapters in an era when the capability
they have established themselves as being supreme adapters in an era when being able
it has established itself as a supreme adapter in an era when to be able
it has established itself as being a supreme adapter in an era when its ability
it has established itself as a supreme adapter in an era when the ability
答案选E。我想问一下。E中it指的是the coyote. 但前面不是有很多单数名词吗, 比如the moose, the deer 那么it放在这里,不是会产生歧义的吗????
注意run on的定义:A run-on is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses (i.e., complete sentences) are joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunction. 两个或更多的独立的句子没有被恰当的标点符号连接;常见的就是两个没有任何关系的完整句子用逗号隔开。
但这里前后不是独立的句子。先看下colon的用法(from Wikipedia):The most common use of the colon is to inform the reader that what follows the colon proves, explains, or lists elements of what preceded it. 这个题目中冒号后面的全部内容作为一个整体解释说明The coyote is one of several recent ecological success stories这个事实;
