②说某个东西的数目its numbers的时候只能用greater来形容，不能用more than
③E选项中的with numbers很ambiguous，with谁的number？？
if the descriptive phrase placed there were an adjective phrase (or were being interpreted as one, at least), you'd want 'those' to assure a parallel construction.
C选项：their主语是单数，❌
DE选项：冗杂

2.原件用分号，两个句子，时态不同，前句现在完成时:讲的是鸟从extinction中survive了，后句一般现在时now：补充说明 不仅活下来了，还变成了5倍
D,E 改成with伴随状语，没有写成分号两个句子好。
3.now with错：第一，修饰主语gyrfalcon，表示伴随survive的动作，不合逻辑
第二，前句有with extinction，这里再用with，容易让人产生两者平行的歧义
重点：
1.numbers用greater不用more
2.主语单数用 its 不是they their
Thanks in advance.
Its numbers are now five times greater than (its numbers were) when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970's. 省略了主语和谓语因为一致
now和when时间状语从句平行
1.numbers 和 number 都可以表示数量2.原件用分号，两个句子，时态不同，前句现在完成时:讲的是鸟从extinction中survive了，后句一般现在时now：补充说明 不仅活下来了，还变成了5倍

“now with numbers five times greater than” does NOT modify the idea of "surviving a close brush with extinction"; instead, it is a much later situation, far removed from (and in considerable contrast to) the near-extinction. Therefore, a modifier is inappropriate here; a separate clause, written in a different tense (as in the correct answer), is a better solution.登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
对比数字大小时，只能用greater than。因为数字只有大小之分，没有多少。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
