103.  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 thev 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

问题一：OG答案上说三个修饰语 cooperative ，  organized， consisting almost entirely of females，做 social wasps的修饰语，而且是一个有效的平行结构，而答案的正确选项解释 consisting properly modifies society. 到底consisting修饰social wasps，还是society。我觉得那三个修饰语都是修饰society的，然后定语从句是修饰social wasps的，不过看过答案觉得很迷惑，而且对这种平行结构也不是清楚，前面两个是形容词，后面是分词怎么平行的哇？？？？？？？？？？

问题二，entirely 和 all 在这里可否替换，我查了entirely 有完全地 和全部地两个意思。

OG--95-The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streambed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are known as "standing waves."(A) crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are(B) crests and troughs that remain stationary although they are formed by rapidly moving air, are(C) crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, is(D) stationary crests and troughs although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are(E) stationary crests and troughs although they are formed by rapidly moving air, isAnswer is C. C 中的 although the air that forms them is moving rapidly 是属于 that 定语从句中的一部分吗？ C and E 到底是什么区别呀？  
问题一，一个牛牛说
YES. C 中的 although the air that forms them is moving rapidly 是属于 that 定语从句中的一部分.这就是C和E的区别.although只能修饰一句话,不能是个WITH结构.
不理解啊，，小女子基础差，有木有好心人给讲下，although 的用法。
问题二，stationary crests and troughs  可以这样一个形容词同时修饰两个名词不？
三、E为什么错，OG大哥说因为被动，我又困混啦~~~~~~~·

with与although的区别是词性不同，although是连词，后面接完整的主谓结构，with是介词，后面更名词或名词性词组

我觉得这边的平行不是属于那种很规矩的很好看的大平行。我更趋向于理解这边的平行指的是都是修饰性语句。highly cooperative and organized..consisting （伴随做修饰）。
(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

而DE这里很明显it is ...和it consists of 都是独立成句，破坏了相对来说的平行结构。


关于修饰对象。  wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of females 这样清楚些么？
从语法上来说,consisting现在分词做伴随修饰比较灵活，可以修饰前面的主语也可以修饰宾语，这个时候就要从意义上来理解了。
从意义上你只可以说这样一个黄蜂族群【黄蜂】几乎都是由female【黄蜂】组成的，而不说这个社会是由female组成了，后面两者没有可比性。


希望能帮到你哈^_^

首先，although是连词，所以后面必须要加句子。比如说，although I've been to his house several times, I still can't remember how to get there 但是呢，如果主语和从句的主语一致的话，可以省略掉从句主语，变成although+分词的结构，比如说 although only accounting for 5% of the population, US citizens consume 28% of the world's natural resources.


关于问题二，我觉得最好不要这么用容易引起歧义到底是修饰两个还是修饰一个。不过多数是effectiveness的错误，还是以correctiveness的错误为先。


问题三，GMAT的一个rule就是被动不简洁，所以最好用主动。

问题二 我觉得不行。。
问题三 就是主动优于被动啊。。而且你不觉得E表达的和C表达的不是一个意思么。。就像上次你问的那个什么东西 carring 7个人那道题。。
