问题 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.
选项 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 wolves, and where
D、where the populations of wolves is still sizable;
E、where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where
答案 E
解析 A中有两个缺陷：(1)a sizable wolf population的表达有歧义：不知sizable是修饰wolf，还是修饰population；(2)and前后的结构不对称，and之前的states在从句中作主语，and之后的states在从句中作状语。B也有两个缺陷：(1)同A(1)；(2)由于在where前省去and，导致where变成了指代它前面的population，而这不符合where的用法。C改正A(1)的错误，A(2)的错误仍存在。D改变了句意，still本来是修饰has的，现却改为修饰sizable；同时，句尾用“分号”，使得分号前后本应属于从属关系的句子变为同等重要的成分，改变了句子重心。E中，用where代替that，与后面的and where构成平行结构，用a sizable population of wolf纠正了a sizable wolfpopulation的歧义，用there be句型表明了“某处有某物”。
