B, C, D不平衡
A: which就近指代不合邏輯

[mimieye]

這題好像滿有爭議的耶 答案給E 有人說C 我比較贊成C
我有找到之前的討論帖
http://www.formosamba.com/phpBB3/viewtopi ... ned+checks
答案E有一點瑕疵
直接加including會讓人以為是authentity有很多種,including....
而且有人說好像沒有reminder to 的用法
C選項是用for好像比較好
including前面的by,我覺得是will help.....by...
including後的三個ing也有平衡
贊成C!!

I go for E

ABD有很明顯的錯誤 , 前面都談到了

我覺得C , E可以用句子的結構來比較

題目的主要結構是
The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions

instructions後面的that子句作修飾語往前修飾instructions , 暫時撇開不看

所以只看主要結構再搭上答案會變成
(C) The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions, by including reminders for watching the endorsement, comparing signatures, and viewing

(E) The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions, including reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view

C的介系詞by 加上後面那一串 往前只看到be-v , 找不到其他有實質意義的動詞修釋

E的, including後面那串作伴隨狀態語往前修飾主幹

所以我比較喜歡選E

再討論討論囉

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 include 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

按句意...本題是在講instructions包含reminders去做三個動作...
用平衡法秒殺~~~
答案A.Bwhich指代instructions...離太遠..讓人誤以為指代authenticity
答案C..by問題很大...看起來像主詞feature或是authenticity去by..兩個都不對..句意instructions包含...而且我沒看過by including這種分詞構句
答案D錯誤平衡....邏輯怪異~~~

[pimi]

The principal feature of the redesigned checks "is" a series of printed instructions (that the company hopes) will help~

我有個小問題, will help的主詞應該是a series of printed instructions , 但是在a series of printed instructions 前面已經有動詞is了, 這樣不就是一個句子有兩個動詞, 請問各位大大到底要怎麼看這各句型呢??

[dibert8]

the company hopes 是插句,去掉不會影響句子的文法結構.
The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions that {the company hopes} will help ...

[dibert8]

(A) which = authenticity 句意不對
=> 考 "which includes" vs "including" 後者修飾 instructions
=> (D) (E) 考平衡
=> (E)

[pimi]

原來插入句是the company hopes 沒有包含that
這樣我恍然大悟
感謝dibert8大大

[bibbyshiu]

小小問題, 希望NN指教
關於(A), 我可以理解which就近指稱會到authenticity.
但是(E), 我的疑問是為什麼including就一定會去修飾instructions, 而不會去修飾authenticity.

另外, 答案選項之前的逗號','讓我覺得有些疑惑, 這邊的逗號是必要還是另有用途. 我試著用分詞代替連接詞.
句子會變為
The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions that (the company hopes) will help ..... and include ......
include的主詞是that, and平衡help跟include. 最後and include變為, including.
不知道這樣解釋能否行的通? 感謝NN解惑

[dibert8]

The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions {that...}, including...
主要結構的句意只到 instructions, 之後的關代子句形容 instructions.
次要結構的 including 補充說明(修飾) instructions.
