16. LACE>MinnesotaLACE> 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) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where

key: E

why not choose B?

why uses 'where' after 'states' rather than 'that'?

sizable　可以修饰　wolf

也可以修饰 population

如果用that也要用成 in which

我的看法是：

划线的部分是一个定语从句，先行词是states

从句的谓语是has 宾语是a sizable wolf population 主语就是前面的states，由此可见，句子缺的是主语。用关系代词，排除D，E

那么答案为什么是E？？？

这个未必。有时候要看整个句子的意思的。就近原则并不是万能的。

LACE>MinnesotaLACE> 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.楼上姐妹误会我的意思拉。

我的想法是：Minnesota是主语，is 是谓语，，表语是one。后面的定语从句是对one 的修饰。

从句中谓语是has,宾语是a sizable wolf population“有一个相当大的狼群数量”从句中缺的是主语，很显然我们知道从句的主语就是那个先行词one of the contiguous forty-eight states ,按照传统语法的规定，从句中少拉主语和宾语的时候我们用关系代词（that ,which,who）

但是where是关系副词，在句子中只能充当状语的成分。

而且，所有的复合句子关系，要么并列要么主从，where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep，后面的也是一个定语从句，前面怎么有一个并列的连词？？？

再者你可以对where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep进行分析。

where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep

主语是this predator，谓语是remains，宾语是the archenemy of cattle and sheep。

句子缺的是地点状语，所以用where.
