Hi, I want to know how we can identify whether particular noun is countable or uncountable? What is the trick to check it? While reading MGMAT SC book I came across a paragraph on pg. 200 as below?

Re: Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the

OG Says:
cooperative, organized, and consisting almost entirely offemales are parallel.

Option B is:
wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of females.

So my question is:
what kind of construction it is?
How these words are parallel?

Re: Because there are provisions.....

Hi Ron, Thanks a lot for your reply. Just want to confirm that here 1st 'THAT' is infact wrong, if it is referring to 'new maritime code' then it should have verb as 'provides' not 'provide'. Let me know if my understanding is wrong. What else would you possibly use? (One question mark is enough; th...
