Hello Raja,
'Depict coyotes as solitary animals' is fine. 'Depict' means 'picture, make a picture', so I do not think that 'to be' works naturally here (although I understand the message).
He was depicted as a lazy person.
He was depicted sleeping on the job.
Coyotes are depicted (to the audience) as solitary animals.

I understand that both sentences are meant to convey the same meaning. However, I think there is really a slight difference. The expected form is:
'distinguishing addictive drugs from non addictive drugs' -- this means finding the characteristics which separate the one kind (addictive) from the other (nonaddictive), which identify Drug X as addictive rather than non-addictive.
'distinguishing addictive drugs from non addictive drugs' -- this means finding the characteristics which separate the one kind (addictive) from the other (nonaddictive), which identify Drug X as addictive rather than non-addictive.
