Unlike the original NationalMuseumof 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

正确答案是D，这个我可以理解。 但是，仍然不太明白为什么A是错误的。
Which 不可以代表前句中: project encourages visitors to 'touch' each exhibit 整个这件事么？
http://baike.baidu.com/view/56536.htm 虽然是在百度百科中搜到的。。。。。 里面有这样一段：
1.非限定性定语从句可将整个主句作为先行词, 对其进行修饰, 这时从句谓语动词要用第三人称单数，例如：
（1）He seems not to have grasped what I meant, which greatly upsets me.他似乎没抓住我的意思，这使我心烦。
（2）Liquid water changes to vapor, which is called evaporation. 液态水变为蒸汽，这就叫做蒸发。
希望牛人们帮忙解答一下，谢谢！

嗯~ 我的意思是前面主句所描述的这件事 activates 了......
而不是单单只exhibit

你说的那种which的用法在GMAT里必错，你再做做题就知道了。Which不能指代前面的句子。

which不可以指代逗号前句子，只能指代逗号前的noun。
楼主不要以百度百科为准，看manhattan语法吧！

the rule for 'which' in formal written English (the kind the GMAT tests) is different from the way 'which' is used in everyday speech. In everyday conversational English, people say things like "My boyfriend was three hours late for dinner, which totally ticked me off." In formal written English, that's wrong, because 'which' has to refer to the noun phrase that it is adjacent to -- so the sentence would literally be saying "dinner ticked me off."

Because this is an area where formal written English and conversational English diverge, the GMAT loves to test it. SCs often zero in on just those spots in which everyday spoken style would be considered wrong in the formal written style.
