题目分析：
略。
选项分析：
A选项：and是连词，应该连接两个句子。本选项and身后缺少谓语动词。
另外，本选项整个划线部分是evidence的定语从句，这个定语从句应该改为不定式短语。这点考查了“不定式和从句的区别”。用之于本题，主句“澳大利亚胚胎学家发现证据”这件事会直接影响“证据能表明大象的进化史”这件事的发生与否（如果不发现证据，证据自然什么都无法证明）。
B选项：定语从句错误同(A)。
C选项：本选项也是evidence的定语，是一个现在分词短语。这点考查了“不定式和ing的区别”。同理于选项(A)，本题中evidence的定语必须是不定式形式。另外，had descended是过去完成时，表示某一个在过去的过去发生的事件。由于证据表明的是“客观真理”，不是某一个事件，所以应该过一般现在时而非过去完成时。
D选项：“大象来自于水生动物”是一个客观存在的事实，所以应该用一般现在时而不是过去完成时。（该错误同选项(C)）
E选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
Remember—Step One of ANY sentence correction problem is "Figure out the exact intended meaning."
The easiest way to gauge whether you're doing Step One well enough is to see what happens when you have to make decisions involving meaning.
If you have to figure out the meaning in retrospect--AFTER noticing a split--then that's a failure of Step One.
In other words, when you encounter a split that depends on context, you should already be aware of the EXACT intended meaning of the relevant words. Meaning is not the kind of thing that you should have to "go back and figure out".
• If you encounter a pronoun in any answer choice, you should already know what it's meant to stand for. You should not have to go back to figure that out.
• If you encounter a modifier, you should alredy know what it's meant to describe. Shouldn't have to go back.
• If you see the second half of a parallel structure (e.g., "... and xxxx"), you should already know what the first half is. Shouldn't have to go back.
This might seem demanding, but it really isn't--it's just normal reading. I.e., not strange "academic" reading, but rather the kind of reading you'd do for pleasure.
If you were reading a book and came to a sentence with a description (= a "modifier"), then you would absolutely know what it was describing! (And if you didn't, you wouldn't keep reading until you'd thought it through.)
Step 1 is actually just like reading a book or magazine. Not "academic" at all.
