我认为,选(C)同样正确。thus 跟as a result 没有什么根本的区别。此题考查这个辨析,实在没有任何意义。请看柯林斯词典对thus的释义:

You use “thus” to show that what you are about to mention is the result or consequence of something else that you have just mentioned.

“你使用thus,是为了说明你要提及的事情是前面已经提到的事情的结果。”

所给句子前后因果关系明确,使用thus 或as a result,都对。

 

例如:

 Neither of them thought of turning on the lunch-time news. Thus Caroline didn't hear of John's death until Peter telephoned...

两个人谁也没有想到打开电视看午间新闻,所以直到彼得打来电话,卡罗琳才得知约翰的死讯。

Even in a highly skilled workforce some people will be more capable and thus better paid than others.

就算是在技术高度熟练的劳动者中,也会有人能力更强,因此,薪水也就更高。
