The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions that the company hopes will help merchants confirm a check's authenticity, which includes reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view the watermark while holding the check to the light.

(A)which includes reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view
(B)which includes reminders for watching the endorsement, to compare signatures and view
(C)by including reminders for watching the endorsement, comparing signatures, and viewing
(D)including reminders to watch the endorsement, comparing signatures and viewing
(E)including reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view

ANS:C

我選E
原因很簡單，我把watch compare view
好吧！是不是如果要這樣平衡的話，to不能夠省呢？

疑問？C的by前面為何還要「，」呢？
這題該如何破解？

當然不是高手 不過想回答一下
我也不知道by要怎麼解釋....
可是(E)的including會不會像是在修飾authenticity 而造成ambiguity呢?!
我乍看會覺得ABDE都有點ambiguity耶

[eggcake520]

我到覺得including reminders to watch the endorsement是在形容confirm a check's authenticity這件事，應該沒什麼問題...
這題平衡我覺得是這樣watch, compare, and view...
所贊成答案E啦....

一起討論...

謝謝牡丹姐 eggcake大大...

to 牡丹:
不過我覺得including就是在說authenticity耶！

我的理由 就像egg大大說的

雖然我在選這題的時候，看不太懂題意，但就覺得平衡是平原形v

嗯嗯 再討論

可是這樣句意有點怪怪的耶...
題目說 公司會幫助商人確認支票的真實性 , 怎麼確認呢? 藉著提醒他們看背書,比較簽名,拿到燈光下看水印
如果說confirm,compare,view三個平行的話
句意不就變成 公司會幫助商人確認支票的真實性,比較簽名和看水印了
個人淺見
再討論囉

[superruby]

同意L大, 句意來看 C比較符合邏輯

好像是耶！
我又想錯了

那個by 很難解釋耶

不過 誠如我第一篇的問題

我選E
我把watch compare view 看成平衡

The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions that the company hopes will help merchants confirm a check's authenticity, which includes reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view the watermark while holding the check to the light.

(A)which includes reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view
(B)which includes reminders for watching the endorsement, to compare signatures and view
(C)by including reminders for watching the endorsement, comparing signatures, and viewing
(D)including reminders to watch the endorsement, comparing signatures and viewing
(E)including reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view

ANS:C

我認為這題reminders後面不可以用to耶!
這裡reminders的意思應該是「提醒」「提示」的意思吧，不是「人」
所以用reminders for 以表示什麼功用的提醒
如此一來只剩下B & C， B平衡有很大的問題。
但是還是想不出來C的by 有啥功用

感謝你 來自動物園的猴子大哥
我壓根兒也沒想到原來會是介詞的問題

我去查了一下longman 不過沒看到reminder for的用法
for 後面可能像您說的是表功能目的吧

re‧mind‧er [countable]
１ something that makes you notice, remember, or think about something
reminder of
★a reminder of the dangers of drinking and driving
reminder that
★Occasional bursts of gunfire are a reminder that the rebels are still active.
constant/painful/vivid etc reminder
★The damaged church was preserved as a stark reminder of the horrors of war.
★The drop in stock prices serves as a reminder (=is a reminder) that investing is a form of gambling.
２ something, for example a letter, that reminds you to do something which you might have forgotten:
★a reminder from the dentist for your check-up

(A)(B) 使用非限定用法： , which 強制修飾最接近的名詞(OG說的)，所以句意不合
(D)(E) 使用限定用法：, including 會產生多重指涉的問題，舉OG的例子來說明：
OG(11th) 51
The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pungacious states of the Greek [u]world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month.[/u]
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival's month
[b](D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival[/b]
其他選項無關本討論我就不PO了
(B) 的錯誤說明：It is not clear who would be doing the [i]prolaiming[/i]
本題也是前面一堆 A of B .... C of D... 也會產生此問題
關於 (C)
我認為如果是說明 help (confirm是補語) 的方式的話，確實不用加 ,
但如果句意是想修飾 printed instructions 的話，放在目前的位置，加入 , 區隔去修飾 printed instructions 是不合理的(而且 printed instruction 沒有動作)

所以我想是這題有瑕疵，可能是想考限定和非限定用法吧 = =

[hughes0305]

(D)跟(E)所使用的 including 會造成句意怪異,
including所修釋的字為feature, 這個特色(feature)怎麼會含"remainders"呢?

句意應該是要說 "借由"讓remainders去做一些檢查的工作! 所以, 透過"by"來表示方法! 所以, 我選(C)

大家覺得呢?

[dibert8]

句子比較像是 The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions {that...}, including...
=> (E)
(C) feature 不會 including 這個動作
