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) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where

答案E。有人能解释一下D吗？OG的解释 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.我觉得很牵强

OG的解释很好啊，因为D中两个句子间没有任何的连接，看起来像单句一样。第一句说的是Minnesota，而第二句却去说predator了。而在E中用一个and 把两个where联接起来作并列结构。

分号的作用2个,1)解释2)递进,这里2个用法都不是.
