OG 12 SC 103，已解决

疑惑：此处的平行如何理解？？

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 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

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.

对这个句子进行分析，我的理解是：
谓语动词 number，
这里用了一个同位语从句来进一步解释 或者 说 给social wasps 下定义，
cooperatve 和 organized，consisting 都是修饰society的，是这种意义上的平行？
等牛牛拍砖！！！！！！谢谢~~~~~

貌似楼上说的平行是这么个意思。

anyway, 我的问题是：
如B所示： “wasps, wasps that” 这样做同位语可以么？ 这样难道不wordy? 我可是上来就把这给排除了。哪位NN能给点这样使用同位语的例子啊。

例子我暂时想不出来，但是我记得og12里还有这样的例子，以后遇到再补充给你...同位语就是名词修饰名词啊...不wordy.
关于这里的平行，我觉得我以前的解释还是对的，平行的本质是功能平行。
今天恰好看到Ron举得几个例子：
let's say that scientists discover that X is 60 percent of Y, and that they are shocked by this finding.

this sentence implies that Y itself has shocked many in the scientific community. that's not true.

recent studies have shown that X is 60 percent of Y, a finding that has shocked many in the scientific community.
or
recent studies have shown that X is 60 percent of Y, a statistic that has shocked many in the scientific community.
these are correct.
所以是对的啦，不wordy~

嗯。。装了三天系统，我回来了。。。

你理解的平行式对的。这里cooperative organized 和 consisting... 都是作为society的定语，所以构成平行。

这样是对的。
he is the gifted boy, the boy who can give you so much surprise.
那这样呢？

其实103题是要给 social wasps下定义，
我懂你想要问的问题，是问同位语可不可以和它想要修饰的词语相同，我觉得在语法上是没有问题的。
至于您的句子，读起来怪怪的，
he is a gifted boy，a boy that...更好点，个人觉得在没有前文的情况下，用the 特指不太好...能力有限，供参考。

he is a gifted boy, a boy who can give you so much surprise
我只是觉得这个完全可以说成
he is a gifted boy who can give you so much surprise.
所以会觉得wordy
还是很谢谢哦。。。

wordy不wordy 不等于错or不错
难道没人告诉你 GMAT给的正确答案不一定是最好的答案吗？
Grammar meaning concision符合即可
