                     Wolves generally avoid human settlements. For this reason, domestic sheep, though essentially easy prey for wolves, are not usually attacked by them. In Hylantia prior to 1910, farmers nevertheless lost considerable numbers of sheep to wolves each year. Attributing this to the large number of wolves, in 1910 the government began offering rewards to hunters for killing wolves. From 1910 to 1915, large numbers of wolves were killed. Yet wolf attacks on sheep increased significantly.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the increase in wolf attacks on sheep?

A. Populations of deer and other wild animals that wolves typically prey on increased significantly in numbers from 1910 to 1915.                             

B. Prior to 1910, there were no legal restrictions in Hylantia on the hunting of wolves.                           

C. After 1910 hunters shot and wounded a substantial number of wolves, thereby greatly diminishing these wolves' ability to prey on wild animals.                           

D. Domestic sheep are significantly less able than most wild animals to defend themselves against wolf attacks.                           

E. The systematic hunting of wolves encouraged by the program drove many wolves in Hylantia to migrate to remote mountain areas uninhabited by humans

我能理解为什么选C，但是为啥E不对呢，这些狼被赶到山那边，没有人居住，不是正好印证了第一句话吗

E没有解释啊，题目是让解释这个现象，按照E说的，这些狼被赶到山那边，那边还没有人居住。。那羊是怎么少的呢？

我当时的理解是，狼到了没有人居住的地方，就可以肆意吃羊了。（因为人的缘故，一般羊不被狼吃）
现在想来题目说的羊是指家养的羊（domestic sheep)。这样理解可以嘛！
