Hi,
1st statement is correct because of parallelism : lives, is almost, has coloring
2nd statement : they 'lives','almost','has coloring'. More over, there could be a change in meaning too
researchers have discovered...., almost wholly dependent... as if the researchers are wholly dependent on the berries.
Cheers!

Things are not what they appear to be... nor are they otherwise

"Lives on grooves,is almost" is the correct usage.....reject the options with grows bec chsnges the intended meaning.....reject options which don't have "is" in front of almost as alters the meaninhlg by modifying grooves instead of modifying "sparrow".......

IMO A
Read it as:
Researchers have discovered a new species of sparrow
that lives only in cypress groves,
that is almost wholly dependent on the berries of a certain type of vine that grows on cypress trees,
and that has coloring completely different from that of all other sparrows.
