New York is known for its Adirondack Park, that still has

New York is known for its Adirondack Park, that still has expansive forests of deciduous and coniferous trees, and where such forests house a number of endangered animal species.


A that still has expansive forests of deciduous and coniferous trees, and where

B which still has expansive forests of deciduous and coniferous trees;

C which still has expansive forests of deciduous and coniferous trees, where

D where still expansive forests of deciduous and coniferous trees, and

E where there are still expansive forests of deciduous and coniferous trees, and where

Answer is E

After eliminating A,C,and D. I stuck on B and E. After a moment i selected B because i didn't find any error in B, and the reason to eliminate E was the verb "are". I am not sure what is the subject of this verb "are". I do understand that these are two different clauses referring to "Adirondack Park," and both are parallel. However, i am not able to identify the subject of verb "are". Please help me in identifying the subject of this verb.

Thanks & Regards
Vinni

B is wrong because semicolon ie,; should separate two independent clauses. That's not true here.

In sentences 'There are...' subject comes AFTER THE VERB. Here subject is FORESTS (still=adverb; expensive=adjective)

A that ..., and where -- parallelism error
B which --- changes meaning. 2nd independent clause does not refer back to main subject of the sentence
C which ..., where -- parallelism error
D where ..., and -- two subject joined by comma + and

IMO: E
