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.

题目分析:
本题利用了定语的修饰原则来考查了考生们对于逻辑主语的理解。
选项分析:
A选项:which thereby activates the animated functions of the piece是定语从句,就近修饰名词exhibit。但在逻辑上,真正激活了功能的应该visitors,而不是展品本身。
B选项:an activation of the animated functions of the piece可以看作是“touch” each exhibit的同位语(当然也可以看作是exhibit的同位语,不过这就更不对了)。但在逻辑上,触摸每个展品并不“是”一种对功能的激活,而是先触摸展品,然后才能激活展品。
C选项:代词it的指代对象只能是单数名词,但是在逻辑上能发出“激活”这个动作的只能是复数名词visitors。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项:本选项错误同(A)。
提问!逻辑主语是visitors可以理解,但是从逻辑上讲,Gmat有没有规定,无生命事物就无法主动发出动作。
如果英语中允许无生命物体发出动作的话,那么GMAT中就必然允许。GMAT考试不是创造语法,而是用基本英语语法来考查我们的逻辑推理能力。
