[求助]OG12-SC-103 & 102?

Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of
the world’s social wasps, wasps living in a highly cooperative and organized
society where they consist almost entirely of
females—the queen and her
sterile female workers.

A.wasps living in a highly cooperative and organized
society where they consist almost entirely of

 

B.wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized
society consisting almost entirely of


C.which means they live in a highly cooperative and
organized society, almost all


D.which means that their society is highly cooperative,
organized, and it is almost entirely


E.living in a society that is highly cooperative,
organized, and it consists of almost all


答案B。

 

请教大家:

1,B: “consisting of..”修饰的是social wasps,还是society? 我觉得是society. otherwise it really awkawd to to say "social wasps consist of...."

2, A: if i change "society where they consist of" to "society that consists of", is this correct now?

3, E: if i change "society that is..... and it consists of..." tp "society that is... and consists", is this correct now?
OG12-SC-102:

As rainfall began to decrease in the Southwest about the middle of the twelfth century,most of the Monument Valley Anasazi abandoned their homes to join other clans whose access to water was less limited.
A.whose access to water was less limited
B.where there was access to water that was less limited
C.where they had less limited water access
D.with less limitations on water access
E.having less limitations to water access
答案是A.

请问:for D, OG 解释说 less 不能修饰limitations, 但是webster上说little 是可以修饰可数名词的,只是不那么常用罢了。请问这个答案怎么理解。如果改成“with fewer limitations on water access” 就对了么? also i understant "access to water" is better and clearer than "water access".
Thank you.

我正好也刚刚看到这一题,2楼说的103题理解答案的不同点,我觉得很对啦。

不过我是这么理解这个句子的,consisting修饰society,和cooperative/organized平行,consisting现在分词短语放在society的后面,应该可以看做是一个定语从句,在薄冰语法里说因为现在分词短语比定语从句简洁,所以在笔语当中多用现在分词置于所修饰的名词之后。同样和前面的cooperative,organized两个形容词的语法功能是一样的,所以根据GMAT的要求,一定要平行。

而且还有一点是,如果把这个consisting这个修饰成分提到society前面,就一定要和cooperative/organized平行,因为这三个词都是修饰society的,可是如果把这个分词短语提前的话就会造成修饰语过长,引起歧义了。所以放在society的后面。

嗯,这个就是我的理解,不知道是不是帮到你。如果有NN看到,我的解释不对的话,请指正!!!谢谢!

楼上的,关于OG12-SC-103,应该好好理解答案是比出来的,重点放在理解答案的不同点上。

As for OG12-SC-102:
对C答案,应该先从句子意思上去理解,原文是是:由于他们那得降雨量减少了,所以他们加入到其他的clans去,那里对用水限制较少(我的翻译不怎么顺口,凑合看)
如果选了C的话,后半句话的意思就变成"他们伴随着较少的水资源限制加入到另外一个clan中了"

A答案和C答案带入原句后在句子意思上有根本的区别。当然,A的意思符合逻辑
