请教og12-103的C选项

crystal509

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

og对C的解释为“the sentence structure makes it unclear what almost all females describe”
为什么不清楚呢？almost all females都可以修饰什么啊？

相同的问题，这个问题没人理啊。almost all前面是个主谓宾+非限定性定从的结构，那么这个almost all可以修饰哪些成分啊？对这种中间插入了好几个逗号的选项看起来感觉乱呼呼的啊

C选项和D选项的which用法确实是错的，which后面动词是means，单数名词，那说明which不可能就近修饰waps了，前面也没单数名词。。因此，可见which这里是修饰前边的一整个句子（语义上说得通），but，在GMAT语法中，which是不可以指代前面一整个句子的！！！ 所以C.D是错滴

嗯，我知道这里which是错误的，但是我想知道C中后面almost这个结构可能修饰哪些问题，还有这个结构的错误是什么？？？同学能解答一下么

一家之言：

如果选C答案，先不论which绝对错，句子结构相当于SVO,从句,N        
这个N是由（adv+adj+N组成的，almost+all+females）
————这个结构首先是没问题的，比如OG 84题就是例子
Often visible as smog, ozone is formed in the atmosphere when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides,two major pollutants emitted by automobiles, react with sunlight.



但是，从逻辑意思上讲，母蜂怎么可能是社会的同位语呢？

顶， 我也是不知道这个almost all females 到底是个什么结构
到底是形容词短语还是同位语？
他为什么就不能修饰前面的society??
