[求助]两个动词连在一起的问题...(手工录入)

先之兆

我搜索过了.没有人问这个问题,也可能这个问题很简单,我想不明白而已.

OG11最后一题138.

the direction in which the earth and the other solid planets---mercury,venus,and mars---spins were determined from collisions with giant celestial bodies in the early history of the solar system.

b.spins were determined because of

c.spins was determined through

d.spin was determined by

e.spin was determined as a result of(正确答案为d)

OG对d的解释为,spin agrees with the plrual subject the earth and other solid ;lanets;was determined agrees with its subject the direction;the idiom determined by is used to express cause.

我就是想不明白,一句话两个动词,连这么近,还跟的主语是不一样的,请大家帮忙.谢谢.
