略

选项分析：

A选项：Correct. 本选项在逻辑和语法上均是正确的。

B选项：growing as big as 30 feet long是现在分词短语，既可以做伴随状语，也可以做定语。由于The 32 species和whale均可以发出grow这个动作，所以growing as big as 30 feet long是由歧义的；另外，growing as big as 30 feet long至少应改为which can grow to be 30 feet long，这是因为，as big as仅表示“和...一样大”，但在逻辑上，并非每只the killer whale都会长到和30 feet一样大。应该说，the killer whale能长到30feet这么大（can grow to be）。

C选项：grow up to是“长大后会怎么样”的意思，例如：
They want me to grow up to be famous.
例句的意思是，他们希望我长大后能变得有名。显然地，本题中，你不能说the killer whale长大后能变得30feet。这个错误在原理上和选项(B)相同，并非每只the killer whale都会长到和30 feet一样大。

D选项：主谓不一致。主语The 32 species是一个复数，所以谓语动词也应该用复数。

E选项：本选项错误同(D)；此外，grow应该和be famous在语法上平行，这部分应改为和选项(D)相同的构造。
