[讨论]GWD7-Q31

Unlike the original National Museum of Science and Technology in Italy, where the models are encased in glass or operated only by staff members, the Virtual Leonardo Project, an online version of the museum, encourages visitors to “touch” each exhibit, which thereby activates the animated functions of the piece.

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

虽然在犹豫中选对了D，可是总觉得activate应该是activates啊...为什么呢？

这里activiate应该是跟touch并列而不是跟encourage并列作to的宾语。

另外选A逻辑意思有什么不同呢？请教

a active的主语就变成了exhibit，显然不合理啊

关于activate同意楼上的说法

这是一个美国常见用法

and thereby 因而（前后主语一致） 或者另结句子，

和and的用法一样，只不过有前面导致后面的关系

NYtimes的举例：

PRINCETON BEATS HARVARD.; AND
                THEREBY WINS THE LACROSSE CHAMPIONSHIP.

MR. HILL CALLS A BLUFF.; AND
                THEREBY SACRIFICES HIS CRACK TEAM OF ...

Mr GREVY REFUSES TO RESIGN; AND
            THEREBY CAUSES GREAT EXCITEMENT.

谢谢7楼！
