Q18:

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.

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

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

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

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

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

请问答案B，consisting是修饰society 还是wasps，为什么？

前者，doing通常不能跳跃修饰。

I have a question, what's the diffrence between entirely and all? are they the same in this question?

pinkrouge

feel ALL here is awkward, but don't know exactly why entirely is better than ALL

感觉是这样的：

consisting almost entirely of是说：完全由the queen and her sterile female workers组成；

而consists of almost all是说：组成的是所有的the queen and her sterile female workers，改变了原意

谁能说说E为什么不对？感谢！

个人认为“, and it consists of almost all”的并列有问题，究竟是跟主句并列还是跟that定从并列。
