HI..
Lot of discussion here,
you don't usually see back to back modifier and they are generally not correct/preferred in GMAT..
so lets see where do we see these back to back modifier and how is it corrected..
First the MEANING issue..
one thing is clear..
The bolas spider stores a pheromone-like secretion in its sticky globules, which hangs from silken threads dangled from its front legs, and this secretion lures.. blah blah
A. The bolas spider, in its sticky globules, hanging from silken threads dangled from its front legs,
Back to back modifier - in its sticky globules and hanging from silken threads dangled from its front legs
B. Hanging from silken threads dangled from its front legs, the bolas spider, in its sticky globules,
Modifier issue... what is hanging.. NOT the spider but sticky globules
C. In its sticky globules, which it hangs from silken threads dangled from its front legs, the bolas spider
Correct..
In its sticky globules,
so "which it hangs from silken threads dangled from its front legs," correctly modifies 'sticky globules' and where secretion is stored is clear - in its sticky globules
D. In its sticky globules, hanging from silken threads dangled from its front legs, the bolas spider
Again back to back modifier
E. The bolas spider, in its sticky globules, hangs from silken threads dangled from its front legs and
Meaning issue..

A. The bolas spider, in its sticky globules, hanging from silken threads dangled from its front legs, - the comma after globules makes the sentence ambiguous.
B. Hanging from silken threads dangled from its front legs, the bolas spider, in its sticky globules,
C. In its sticky globules, which it hangs from silken threads dangled from its front legs, the bolas spider
D. In its sticky globules, hanging from silken threads dangled from its front legs, the bolas spider - same error as in A
E. The bolas spider, in its sticky globules, hangs from silken threads dangled from its front legs and - changes the meaning. The sentence implies that the bolas spider hangs from .. and stores .. in its sticky globules. The bolded and underlined portion also makes it illogical.
I am unable to eliminate B or C as I don't see any error in either. IMO, although both B and C have different meanings, due to the ambiguity in the original sentence, I am unable to eliminate either.
Dear experts, I may have missed something. Kindly point me in the right direction.
Regards,
Louis
