答案：B

 

有人问过这题，我还是不明白。

 

Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world’s social wasps 是说Yellow jackets是 隶属于全世界900来种群居的黄蜂中的一种？

 

后面划线的部分指的是the world’s social wasps 还是Yellow jackets ?

 

比如C、D带which的，到底指的是谁呢？

 

不明白，非常不明白

1，Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world’s social wasps 是说Yellow jackets是 隶属于全世界900来种群居的黄蜂中的一种？
个人觉得这么翻译是正确的。

2，后面划线的部分指的是the world’s social wasps 还是Yellow jackets ?
wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of females...
前面是主句，wasps that... 是做同位语修饰前面的wasps，that从句做定语修饰wasps

3，比如C、D带which的，到底指的是谁呢？
which非定语从句指代wasps，修饰方式没有问题，但是wasps是复数，而means错
C选项which插入语省去之后，almost all females需要成分和主句的wasps连接
D选项有and却没并列。



另外，回LS。
consisting是分词修饰society
前面的cooperative and organized可当做整体的adj修饰a society

The underlined portion does not have a subject, therefore it is a subordinant sentence, thus it, along with "among the 900...," modifies "Yellow jackets."

Breaking the sentence down to its gist: "Yellow jackets...., wasps that live in..... cooperative and organized society...."

"which" in C & D is not wrong, but sounds awkward. 

Also:

A.) "They" seems to modify "society" rather than "Yellow jackets."

C.) "Almost all..." is awkward.

D.& E) arallel construction is violated.

The correct answer is B

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

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

A. society where...错

C. almost all前面缺少连词；如果是同位语成分，那么逻辑意思不对

D、E. 楼上说了， 平行问题

这道题的意思上看，which试图修饰wasps，但是which means显然which 指代前面整句话，所以违反原则了

笨笨可可

请问A错在哪里？

感觉A的错误应该是consist of应该修饰的是society, 而they指的是warps。应该把of去掉。

GWD3-Q4:

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.

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

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

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

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

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

錯誤均用紅字標起來.

Which之前的先行詞是wasps, 動詞不可能是第三人稱單數，所以CD淘汰。

E則是and連接的詞性不對等，造成結構不平衡。

A錯在where they,應該改為which consists

which可不可以指代先前整个句子？

意为“这个现象以为着”？

遵循GMAC的习惯，which仅修饰前面先行词，而不指代整句

请问后面的consisting和cooperative a, organized 怎么平行呢
