Does terrorism ever work? 9/11 was an enormous tactical success for al Qaeda, partly because it involved attacks that took place in the media capital of the world and the actual capital of the United States, ______(A)______ ensuring the widest possible coverage of the event. If terrorism is a form of theater where you want a lot of people watching, no event in human history was likely ever seen by a larger global audience than the 9/11 attacks. At the time, there was much discussion about how 9/11 was like the attack on Pearl Harbor. They were indeed similar since they were both surprise attacks that drew America into significant wars. But they were also similar in another sense. Pearl Harbor was a great tactical success for Imperial Japan, but it led to a great strategic failure: Within four years of Pearl Harbor the Japanese empire lay in ruins, utterly defeated. ______(B)______, 9/11 was a great tactical success for al Qaeda, but it also turned out to be a great strategic failure for Osama bin Laden.

thereby, Similarly

while, Therefore

while, Fortunately

thereby, On the contrary

(A)에는 "thereby", (B)에는 "Similarly"가 들어간다.
(A) 앞은 세계 언론의 중심지와 수도에서 공격이 일어났다는 원인이고 뒤의 "ensuring the widest possible coverage"(최대한 넓은 보도를 보장)는 그 결과이므로 "그로 인해"를 뜻하는 thereby 가 맞다. (B)는 진주만 공격이 전술적 성공이자 전략적 실패였듯 9/11도 그러했다는 유사 사례를 잇는다.
"while, Therefore"는 (A)에 대조·동시의 while 이 인과 흐름과 맞지 않고, (B)도 결론이 아니라 유사 비교이다.
"while, Fortunately"는 (B)의 전략적 실패를 "다행히"로 잇는 어색한 연결이다.
"thereby, On the contrary"는 (B)에서 두 사건이 같은 양상인데 대조로 이어 모순된다.
