C、which require vast wild spaces and permit little accumulation of goods, seem to be inevitably doomed
D、lifestyles that require vast wild spaces and permit little accumulation of goods, seem inevitable
E、lifestyles requiring vast wild spaces and permitting little accumulation of goods, seems inevitable

答案E

解析 In the sentence as written, the singular subject the disappearance of... and the plural verb seem do not agree in number. It does not make sense to say that the disappearance is inevitably doomed; presumably the sentence intends to suggest that the lifestyles themselves are inevitably doomed or perhaps that the disappearance of... these lifestyles is inevitable.
A    For the reasons explained previously, the sentence as written is incorrect.
B    This choice fixes the verb error: the disappearance of... and seems agree in number. However, it retains the problem that the disappearance is what is described as inevitably doomed.
C    In this sentence, the subject the disappearance of... and the verb seem do not agree in number. Furthermore, the pronoun which incorrectly refers to Aboriginal people rather than to lifestyles.
D    In this sentence, the subject the disappearance of... and the verb seem do not agree in number.
E    Correct. This sentence is well formed. The singular subject the disappearance agrees in number with the singular verb seems. Furthermore, it is clearly the disappearance that seems inevitable.
The correct answer is E.
