1. A - seems close but since "Soviet audiences have seen a great deal of coverage" it is more likely that some of the conference had been covered, so this is incorrect.

 

B - awkward

 

C and D - "alive" doesnt make sense to me.

 

E - seems to be most appropriate. "not all" were cariied live but Soviet audiences saw a great deal of the coverage.

 

2. I'll pick C.

option C, coyotes are depicted as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills in films about the American West . Looks like, the morning is done on the films rather than saying on the hill top.
