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


答案是A， 但决定因为不是因为它用了AS


但我有疑问，不知道TO BE 和AS到底在用法上有哪些区别。

merlion

习惯用法把. TO BE 少见, 只有几个 (OG里的, believe 等等的用), AS多见, 发现很多用动词是接AS的. ---个人意见

ricesu

其实有别的错误点可以发掘，bc的问题在于使用了被动改变了句意，原句是电影描述了郊狼，bc使用了被动后，描述这个动作的执行者找不到了，所以错
d不知所云，e得更大的问题在于后面，他把分词短语howling改成了定语，造成了on the top of mountain没有修饰对象

当然，be adj叶是啰嗦的标志，在同等情况下应该排除

lemonee

ricesu的解释太好了。
补充一下，其实D答案和E答案是一组错误。
