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
Choice A: This answer choice incorrectly uses "where" to refer to "a society"; as "society" is not a physical place, "where" cannot be used to refer to it. Additionally, the pronoun "they" does not have a clear antecedent; it could refer to "Yellow Jackets", "species", or "wasps". Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice B: This answer choice maintains parallelism, conveys the intended meaning of the sentence, and avoids pronoun ambiguity. Thus, this answer choice is correct.
Choice C: This answer choice incorrectly uses a comma followed by the word "which" to refer to a clause. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice D: This answer choice repeats the same error found in Option D. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice E: This answer choice breaks parallelism between the adjectives "cooperative" and "organized" and the verb phrase "it consists...". This error occurs because this answer choice incorrectly groups the verb phrase into the same list as the adjectives. Remember, all elements in a list must be parallel. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect
