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
本题选择B。 我对OG上的一段解释有点不明白：The three descriptors of social wasps (cooperative, organized, and consisting almost entirely of females) are most effectively expressed in parallel structures. 然后OG对B项的explaination是这样的：The three descriptors of the wasp society are in parallel form, and consisting properly modifies society. 请问这三个修饰语（cooperative, organized, and consisting）到底哪里是并列呢？
关于... A, A that... . 是一个在英文里常用的表达，我感觉这是英文的一种习惯。有些科普类视频中也会用到这样的句子。 这个是个同位结构 其次我觉得是不是要考虑到不仅仅是语法平行还有一层逻辑平行的概念呢？虽然说表面上看 前两个是adj 后面是分词做定语 但是A中错用关系副词来修饰society会造成逻辑上的错误，也可以理解成逻辑上的不平行 因为consist的用法在A中式unidiomatic 个人见解

I have two questions: 1. 如果把A变成 wasps living in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of, 其他4个选项不变，这项能选吗？ 2. parallelism可以指除了grammar以外（比如逻辑上）的平行吗？
