我在cd看到有下列的說法,但我不明白,請大家共襄盛舉一下

Choice A: They refers to wasps. so, that wasps consist of female is not logical.

Choice B: That society consist of female makes sense.

這一題的(A) where有問題

where不可以帶society, where代location

society= a large organized group. 人組成的organization

(B)很好 society consisting almost entirely of 形容如何的society?

Ans: consisting almost entirely of females—the queen and her sterile female workers

All wasps will defend their nests, but the Yellow Jackets and hornets are the most aggressive. They can be distinguished from bees by their thin "waists." Bees are thick-waisted. They fold their wings lengthwise when at rest. Like all wasps, yellow jackets prey on a variety of insects and other arthropods. Yellow jackets will also forage on foods that people eat, especially sweets and meats.
They are considered beneficial insects, eating other insects. The yellow jacket colony will remain active for only one summer, after which the queens will fly away to start more colonies. The remaining ones, die at the end of the summer, the nest is not reused.

HABITS:
They usually nest in the ground, but will nest also in railroad ties, wall voids, and other above ground locations. In the spring, most yellow jackets will feed on insects. Many homeowners see"bees" flying around their hedges. These "bees" are usually yellow jackets and are there to eat insects on the foliage. Spraying the hedges with an appropriate insecticide will kill the food source of the yellow jackets, and they will soon leave the area.
In the fall, wasp colonies have come the largest size, and foraging workers may be a serious nuisance as they search for food people eat or discarded food.
If a colony is disturbed, they can become very aggressive and sting. For most a sting is temporary, but painful, but for allergic individuals as single sting may result in a serious reaction, requiring medical treatment.

謝謝各位的回答
是我豬頭把society誤認為是個地方....

請問這題的B選項中 wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting....

我想問為什麼一個用現在式live, 一個用過去式organized呢
這樣不是沒平衡嗎?

organized是形容詞 跟cooperative平行

[soaringally]

那請問為何要重覆wasps 這樣不算贅字嗎? 還是另有用途

Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world's social wasps, wasps that live in a highly .............

[freshmanduke]

wasps 在這是同位語
所以沒關係
如果沒wasps反而會不知道他要指誰

[rola1225]

請問一下，為什麼 E 不行 ??

[cheyen]

E，living像是修飾整個句子，而it指代不清

[agustin]

這一題的B沒人有疑問嗎?

我看不懂這句 這是當同位語嗎??
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.

我真是看不懂這樣的同位語


或是當第二句解? 那第二句沒有動詞...B是怎麼正確的?
這題A.B.C.皆缺乏動詞
且C.D.指涉錯誤 不選
