Researchers have found that individuals who have been blind from birth, and who thus have never seen anyone gesture, nevertheless make hand motions when speaking just as frequently and in virtually the same way as sighted people do, and that they will gesture even when conversing with another blind person.
a. who thus have never seen anyone gesture, nevertheless make hand motions when speaking just as frequently and in virtually the same way as sighted people do, and that they will gesture
b. who thus never saw anyone gesturing, nevertheless make hand motions when speaking just as frequent and in virtually the same way as sighted people did, and that they will gesture
c. who thus have never seen anyone gesture, nevertheless made hand motions when speaking just as frequently and in virtually the same way as sighted people do, as well as gesturing
d. thus never having seen anyone gesture, nevertheless made hand motions when speaking just as frequent and in virtually the same way as sighted people did, as well as gesturing
e. thus never having seen anyone gesture, nevertheless to make hand motions when speaking just as frequently and in virtually the same way as sighted people do, and to gesture
Answer is A
My question is regarding the sentence, "nevertheless make hand motions when speaking just as frequently and in virtually the same way as sighted people do." This is a subordinate clause that is modifying the "individuals", but it uses an active verb "make", rather than the present perfect tense of "have + be", as in, "have been blind from birth." So my question is, when the sentence is a subordinate clause that is modifying the main clause, can we disregard its parallelism with the main clause?
Thanks.
