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

correct answer is D

B,C,E很好排除。我在A和D中徘徊。A错是不是应该改为 exhibit, thereby activating........ which前有逗号，说明整个which定语从句是修饰前面的句子，而不是exhibit. 那为什么错呢？

D用的结构是:

encourages visitors to “touch” each exhibit and thereby activate, 划线部分是用and连接的平行结构

而A的错误是which就近指代exhibit, 所以activate 应该用复数,而非A/E的单数形式, 但即使如此, 我认为此处仍然不能用which形式. 因为这里activate 是touch的后一个动作, 两个动作一前一后用and连接. 而如果用which,则 activate成了exhibit的谓语, 明显逻辑关系不当.

VLP encourages people to touch each exhibit, which thereby activates the animated functions of the piece.

A.     exhibit, which thereby activates

A is nonsense because it is not the exhibit but the touch that activates those functions.

B.      exhibit, in turn an activation of

B is excluded for the same reason as is A.

C.     exhibit, and it will activate

If "it"  refers to  the exhibit, then it will be excluded for same reason as I showed above.

D.     exhibit and thereby activate

E.      exhibit which, as a result, activates

E is excluded for the same reason as the first three options are.
