Q)7. Although films about the American West depict coyotes as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills, in reality these gregarious creatures live in stable groups that occupy the same territory for long periods.

[E] films about the American West depict coyotes to be solitary and mournfully howling animals on the tops of distant hills

films about the American West depict coyotes as if they were solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills
THEN, which one will we choose?[/spoiler]

A would still be a better choice.

I would like to go with A.

Also Depict and as if...both have the same intentions..so in your case..as if is redundant..so not a valid answer.
