A wildlife expert predicts that the reintroduction of the
caribou into northern Minnesota would fail if the density
of the timber wolf population in that region is more
numerous than one wolf for every 39 square miles.
(A) would fail if the density of the timber wolf
population in that region is more numerous
(B) would fail provided the density of the timber wolf
population in that region is more
(C) should fail if the timber wolf density in that
region was greater
(D) will fail if the density of the timber wolf
population in that region is greater
(E) will fail if the timber wolf density in that region
were more numerous
OG anwser (D)
在不清楚句意的前提下...看到if条件子句
1.主要子句中用would/should/could无论表与现在/过去/未来事实相反 ,
条件子句中动词需用过去式,删除(A)(B)
2.density是集合名词? 动词用单数,删除(E).
(E)中, will表未来但是条件子句中用动词were(incorrect tense)
Question:
1. 请问(C)错的点在哪里? 该如何下手解题?
2. why greater is better than numerous??
感恩

老实说我第一眼就是看句意的...predicts现在简单事就感觉是要表达对未来或现在相反的看法,我就会马上删去与过去事实相反的答案再加上看到 reintroduction,就会想选与未来事实相反的不可数名词好像用greater than 比 more than好

与未来事实相反要用would,如第一点所提。

我是会用预测未来(predicts)用will直接只看D.E选项
