题目分析：
本题主要需要看清几个句子之间的关系。

选项分析：

A选项：并列连词but身后是一个完整的句子，而其身前的Seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep不是句子，两者也无法保证功能平行。

B选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

C选项：在逻辑上，“40英尺宽12英尺深（it was seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep）”和“绵延了363公里（it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York）”是转折关系（因为，一般很窄很细的河都不会蔓延很长的距离，而这条河蔓延了这么长的距离，是很奇怪的），而不是并列关系，因此应将并列连词and改为but。

D选项：应将并列连词and改为but，该错误同选项(C)；seldom more than 40 feet wide和12 feet deep两个部分一个是宽度一个是深度，没有“或”的关系，应将or改为and。另外，which connected引导的是非限定性定语从句，其会就近修饰一个名词，即，“纽约”，而发出“连接”这个动作的是“运河”而不是“纽约”。

E选项：本选项使得整个句子中没有谓语动词。
