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　　答案解析如下：　　(A)wasps living in a highly cooperative and organized society where they consist almost entirely of　　【错误】 句子意思：根据日常逻辑“consist”合理的主语应为“society”，表意为“黄蜂社会主要有雌蜂组成”。但“they consist almost entirely of females”中“they”无法指代“society”，只能指代“wasps(黄蜂)”，但“黄蜂”并不是由“雌蜂”组成的——“黄蜂”(即使是复数)只能由黄蜂头、黄蜂腹部、黄蜂翅膀等“组成”，不能由雌蜂“组成”。　　(B)wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of　　【正确】 “that”引导的定语从句修饰了“wasps”，而这个“wasps”又进一步作同位语修饰“the worlds social wasps”，修饰关系明确合理。　　【大意】 小黄蜂名列世界900多种社会性黄蜂，生活在一个高度合作的、有组织的主要由雌性——蜂后和不育的雌工蜂组成的社会中的黄蜂。　　(C)which means they live in a highly cooperative and organized society, almost all　　【错误1】 修饰成分：从句“which means……”本意想修饰“Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the worlds social wasps”整个主谓结构。但在GMAT考察的标准书面英语中，“which”只能引导修饰某个名词性结构的定语从句，而不能修饰整个主谓结构。　　【错误2】 修饰成分：“almost all females”是一个名词性结构，但并不是主谓结构的一部分，因此只能是一个修饰语，但其修饰对象并不明确，是一个孤立的名词性结构。　　(D)which means that their society is highly cooperative, organized, and it is almost entirely　　【错误1】 修饰成分：见(C)中“修饰成分”第一项。　　【错误2】 句子意思：“it is almost entirely females”中“it”指代“society”，但“社会”无法是“雌蜂”，而只能是“雌蜂的社会(society of females)”，因此表意不合
