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
OA: E
P.S: Though it's an easy one and I got it right, somehow I got little bit confused between C & E.
In C, that and where are not parallel but it seems to be more clear in conveying meaning. In E, both clauses are parallel (begin with WHERE) , however it appears to me that E is bit convoluted than C.

C: the only one...that still has a sizable wolf population and where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle.
In the that-clause, the only one serves as the implied SUBJECT of the verb has.
In the where-clause, the only one serves as an implied ADVERB, conveying WHERE this predator REMAINS.
Since the only one cannot serve both as a subject and as an adverb, the construction in C is not valid.

On the GMAT, a conjunction such as and cannot serve to connect a that-clause to a where-clause.
Thanks for your expert comment. One question: Is it just the 'and' conjunction that cannot connect a that-clause to a where-clause? Or this rule applies to almost all of the FANBOYS conjunction?
Thanks,
Rijit

Yes Mitch, this is very clear,GMATGuruNY wrote: In the that-clause, the only one serves as the implied SUBJECT of the verb has.
Can you please explain this slightly. "the only one" refers to "Minnesota". Since "Minnesota" is a noun, can a Noun act as adverb.In the where-clause, the only one serves as an implied ADVERB, conveying WHERE this predator REMAINS.

In other words, where is an relative adverb serving to refer to Minnesota.
Since where means in which, the following meaning is conveyed:
This predator remains the archenemy of cattle IN MINNESOTA.
As a result, Minnesota plays an adverbial role in the where-clause.

The predator/Wolf remains where ? The predator (wolf) remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep in MINNESOTA.
