答案E
解析 Agreement; Grammatical construction
The sentence mentions two marine sites, but the grammatical subject of the sentence refers to only one of them, so the use of the plural verb provide is incorrect. The antecedent of which is unclear, for example, it cannot be explorers, since the singular verb includes indicates that its subject which must also be singular. Thus, the antecedent must be the singular noun phrase marine life. However, the sentence would be clearer and less awkward if this antecedent were placed closer to which.
A This cannot be correct, given the problems described.
B The plural provide is incorrect. The plural verb include indicates that one of the preceding noun phrases, e.g., 165 square nautical miles, or underwater explorers, should be the antecedent, but neither of these readings would convey a coherent meaning.
C The plural provide is incorrect, as the subject is singular (Key Largo Marine Sanctuary is not part of the subject). Stating that the park (as opposed to the marine life) "includes" 500 species does not seem to capture the intended meaning.
D The portion that precedes and here is correct; however, and including creates a grammatically incorrect sentence fragment.
E Correct. The use of a participial phrase introduced by including avoids the need to use a relative clause introduced by which, but serves the same function as would a relative clause with antecedent marine life.
The correct answer is E.
