OG12-103 Yellow jackets

my8221808

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

题目不难，但是og给的解释比较费解， three descriptors of social wasps (cooperative,
organized, and  consisting almost entirely of females ) are most eff ectively expressed in parallel structures.问题是这三者不平行吧，是前两者平行，第三部分做分词定语吧。

或者是说OG的意思是说
highly cooperative
organized
consisting
都是形容society所以都是定语。

我觉得是这样的consisting前没有逗号，只能做定语， 必须就近修饰organized society,也就是后者的定语，整个从句的结构就成了
wasps that living in a highly cooperativeand organized society (consisting almost entirely of females—the queen and her sterile)
female workers.

都是做定语的啊，我觉得是前置定语和后置定语而已。虽然3个修饰语没有平行标志，但是B项里他们的确平行，地位相等，open to discuss
