from Manhattan Forum: 1. In E extinction is modified by prepositional phrase ( looks as if extinction has numbers five times greater) 2. In E numbers is absolute having no reference backward i.e whose numbers . It should be "its number implying gyrfalcon's numbers" 忘记了modifiers都是有就近原则的， automatically modify the closest possible noun.

OG上的解答：Choices D and E wrongly use a phrase introduced by now with to modify The gyrfalcon. In both choices, the phrase confusingly seems to parallel with extinction; a new clause with a present tense verb is needed to state what the gyrfalcon's numbers are now.

E. now with引导的部分错误修饰主语the gyrfalcon;此外，由于前句有with extinction，此处使用now with结构，容易是人产生该结构与with extinction 平行的疑惑，故不妥

The comma introduces a confusing phrase seemingly to modify "extinction".

未划线部分有with结构，划线部分再用一个with结构有平行的歧义

number应该是修饰gyrfalcon的，但用在这容易和with extincitin混淆，意思表达不清
