这也让我了解了这个句子 本来一直想不通为何wasps要重复一次
这里wasps是做Yellow jackets的同位语
据查《牛津》， number sb/sth among sth -include sb/sth in a particular group将某人/物包括于某群体内， eg：I number her among my closest friends.
这样看来，如果是“包含的意思”应该是“被动”表示才说得通阿， 所以应该是“amount to (sth)共计”的理解比较好吧。
至于答案为什么重复“wasps”，因为that做限定性定语从句要紧跟先行词阿，不可以有逗号分割的，否则就用“which”了，可惜which的选项中存在数不一致的问题。如果选a, 则wasps living...这后半段不能构成独立的句子，只是一个 n + pres.p 结构与前面没有什么逻辑关系了。
yellow jacket 屬於 social wasp的一種, 而social wasp又屬於wasp的一種, 所以選項中"wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society..."是作為social wasp的同位語, 說明social wasp是一種生活於高度合作社會中的wasp...
當然, wasp除了social wasp之外還有其他non-social wasp, 所以that live in...有限定修飾的作用...
Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world’s social wasps, wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of females—the queen and her sterile female workers.
后面一整段wasps that...是做the world’s social wasps的同位语(并不是一个句子)。所以不是run-on结构。
