225. 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 cattle 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）
(E) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where
In choices A and C, the construction that still has..., and where modifies Minnesota with clauses that are not grammatically parallel. In choice B, the omission of and illogically makes the where... clause modify wolf population rather than Minnesota—that is, choice B says in effect that the wolf population is where the wolf remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep. Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a conjunction that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated from the clause following the semicolon, the statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota. In E, the best choice, the parallel construction of where... and where... allows both clauses to modify Minnesota.
TO LIVERPING:原題的答案就是E,由where引導的兩個從句平行;而之前大傢討論的是that引導的從句的謂語動詞是單數是復數的問題,可能混淆暸袮的視綫
