题目分析：
本题主句的谓语动词number长得有点像名词，这使得很多考生读完了一遍句子发现自己好像没有看懂。从划线部分开始其实是一个同位语，同位the world’s social wasps。
选项分析：
A选项：复数代词they在语法上只能指代复数名词wasps，但是在逻辑上，由女王和工人组成的应该是某一个社会（society）而不是wasps。
B选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C选项：which means引导的是定语从句，必须就近修饰一个单数名词，但是在整个主句中皆没有单数名词，因此，本选项具有语法错误。
D选项：which means错误同(C)；it is almost entirely females中的be动词措辞有误，应该是it consists almost entirely females。另外，本选项中并列连词and连接的是Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world's social wasps和it is almost entirely females—the queen and her sterile female workers（不能和live并列的原因是and身前的逗号以及live句是一个定语从句，而and身后这个句子并不缺少任何成分，肯定不是定语从句）。在逻辑上，“黄蜂是什么”和“社会的组成”之间没有并列的关系。
E选项：并列连词and连接对象错误同(D)。
which means排除CD，因为which在GMAT里边只能指代名词，不能指代”一件事“。
E里边living in a society that is highly cooperative, organized是状语，修饰的是前面的句子，cooperative和organized之间用的逗号；Yellow jackets number among ...social wasps和后面的and it consists of almost all ...并列，那么it就是指代的yellow jackets，应该用复数代词。
A里边where they consist ...的they应该指代的是单数的society，错误。
B consisting almost ...是做的society的定语，正确。
