103. Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of theworld’s social wasps, wasps living in a highly cooperative and organizedsociety where they consist almost entirely of females—the queen and her sterile female workers.
(A) wasps living in a highlycooperative and organized society where they consist almost entirely of
(B) wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organizedsociety consisting almost entirely of
(C) which means they live in a highlycooperative and organized society, almost all
(D) which means that their society ishighly cooperative, organized, and it is almost entirely
(E) living in a society that is highly cooperative, organized, and it consists of almost all
首先 这题的答案是B没有什么问题。 但是我在看着道题时,觉得这题中CD选项里的THEY和THEIR似乎都有指代 yellow jackets的嫌疑。但是OG里并没有指出它有错误。 我个人觉得C D 选项中的指代不同于A , A选项中的THEY 很清楚的指代了 waspS是因为它指代的是中心词。CD中的作为一个代词,在从句主语的位置上,难道不应该优先指代 YELLOW JACKETS?
是我概念错误了,还是OG并没有解释完所有的错误情况 希望来一个NN 求解答

your analysis seems fine to me
they in choice A seems to refer to yellow jackets ( both are the subjects in the clause, and grammatical case is equal)
but when encountering such problem in the exam
if I were you, I will not tackle with the pronoun ambiguity issue until other splits are all addressed
you know that the OG's explanation is quite inconsistent in this issue (just like some sorts of controversy)
if you are immersed in such kind of controversial analysis, you will be ruined in the problem ( because the GMAT set the rule, they have the authority to do anything no matter how well your reasoning may turn out to be )
more time should be devoted into the overall meaning ( that is the trend)
you will get nerve-racking for consistently analyzing pronoun ambiguity

选项A中的they 指代WASPS很清楚没问题滴 这个也是OG的原话 THEY REFERRING TO WASPS因为,WASPS living。。。。这个整个短语都是用来解释social waspS的。这个短语中的they 当然指代该短语的中心词 WASPS。。我只是觉得BC的指代也有问题 OG没说
