to view 和while holding 平行？

根据句子意思: 当拿到光下时能看到水印, hold 和view 不是并列动作.

4: The principle feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions that the company hopes will help merchants confirm a check’s authenticity, which include reminders to watch something, compare something-2, and view the watermark while holding the check to the light. fficeffice" />


B: by including reminders for watching something, comparing something-2, and viewing
D: including reminders to watch something, compare something2, and view
D的原句可以简化为：The principle feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions，including reminders to watch something, compare something2, and view the watermark while holding the check to the light.     这样有两个问题：
中间被我省掉的部分太长，会让人以为including 是修饰authenticity. 应该加上一个instructions, 重复一下会比较好。
第二个问题：The principle feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instruction that ......., including reminders to watch something, compare something2, and view the watermark while holding the check to the light.             holding 的主语到底是什么呢？（顺便说一下while 在这里的用法很不爽。）还是认为这里的holding 有点没着落呀。
不过我也认为MM提到的逗号的问题，加上明显有歧义。现在看哪个答案都不顺眼。

nina23不知“ The new contract forbids a strike by the transportation union.”这句是og的第几题，我想再看看og的说明特别是关于这里by的用法。


关于讨论中的这题，有一点我跟bryony想法差不多，including首先会让人以为 是修饰authenticity而不是instruction, 我想这是由instruction在句中的位置决定的。


我个人认为    by doing，更可能是修饰help, 至于为什么要加个","，我想主要help后有个confirm，到时by就不知是修饰那个为好，而且更重要的是，如不加逗号，句子会不平衡，头轻脚太重。


“，+by短语”就像“，+with短语”一样，都是“，+介词短语”对主句进行修饰，这是可被接受的。当然不同的介词所起的作用（或是表达的意思）不同，特别是with这个词。


至于reminders for    doing和reminders to do我认为可能这两种表达都是可接受的，至于动作平行并列，我想不一定要动作完全一致，紧连着的动作应该也可。这里watching等表一般状态，感觉更好些。

谢谢jnlvo的回复。

这句话的谓语到底是什么？


是前面的is


还是后面的will help


而且，will help前面的hopes是什么东东？


看了几遍，居然产生了这个疑问，谢谢！

此题我选B，句子结构如下：


4: The principle feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions that the company hopes will help merchants confirm a check’s authenticity, by including reminders for watching something, comparing something-2, and viewing the watermark while holding the check to the light.


fficeffice" />The principle feature of the redesigned checks 主语；is 谓语；a series of printed instructions 宾语；其后的that是定从先行词；the company hopes是插入语无意义可去掉它；虽然 including作为一个介词，其前不可以加by，但此处including是动名词形式; do sth.    while doing是可以的，不是解题方向。


但是句尾的",by doing"是不是修主句而非定从的，所以最后那部分也可以是定从中一部分？而不会是认为主句中的一部分，没有岐义？

JerryGuan 分析得好！

1、do sth. while doing是可以的，不是解题方向。

2、去掉可以省略部分：The principle feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions that will help merchants confirm a check’s authenticity, by including reminders ....

3、那么by including reminders ....应该有歧义，可以修饰help...又可以修饰  is a series of printed instructions

所以，还是选D 啊。

这题怎么每次看，我得选项都不同？

我觉得INCLUDING以及后面的部分是修饰INSTRCTION的，表明的是INSTRUCTION的内容，如果用BY引导，那么语言的重心是including而不是后面的内容了。

我选D, 我觉得including reminder to ...是一种伴随状态，printed instructions 是它的逻辑主语。including是现在分词，不是介词.

6: In 1994, a total of 4000 cars and trucks were produced in the US, but in 1998 almost twice the numbers of trucks alone came off the assembly lines.

D: That number of trucks alone

E: The number of trucks by themselves

Which one is the better?
