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.

exhibit, which thereby activates

exhibit, in turn an activation of

exhibit, and it will activate

exhibit and thereby activate  (ans.)

exhibit which, as a result, activates

想请教一下各位NN这thereby的用法是不是：

thereby + V-ing

（但是<3>又显得怪怪的了）

, thereby V-ing

V-ing/V-ed and thereby V-ing/V-ed

请指教！

把thereby看做一般的副词好理解些~不过OG上的那道题还是很困惑

不confuse啊，用别的语法书学GMAT句子改错本来就是大错特错，GMAT句子改错之所以不叫GMAT语法就是因为它和传统的语法并不一样，GMAT有他自己的一套规定，很多传统的语法认为正确的在GMAT中认为是错误的。

回到这个问题上，这是个平行 to touch and (thereby) activate.
