(A) exhibit, which thereby activates
(B) exhibit, in turn an activation of
(C) exhibit, and it will activate
(D) exhibit and thereby activate
(E) exhibit which, as a result, activates
正确答案是D。
OG的解释:
The relative pronoun which requires an antecedent, and there is none provided in this sentence. It makes more sense to make the visitors the agents responsible for the action of both the verbs—touch and activate. Because to “touch” is an infinitive, the second verb form must be, as well, though the to may be implied.
楼主选的是A。
楼主认为,which指代的是encourage visitors to “touch” each exhibit 这件事。但是官方说,句子里没有which指代的。
另外,为什么to 可以省略,不应该是对仗一致的吗?
