题目分析:本题的主要难度在于句子较为难懂。这句话的意思是:
重新设计的支票的主要特征是一系列的印刷说明。这些说明是公司希望帮助客人去确定支票的真实性的,说明的内容包括提示顾客们去看一下协议,对比一下签名还有检查一下水印。
选项分析:
选项A:which includes需改为which include。这是因为,include的逻辑主语是印刷的说明(instructions),而“说明”在本题中是复数名词(请注意,这种“跳跃修饰”的情况在GMAT考试中十分常见,千万不能认为定语从句一定修饰最近的名词,不然很可能把答案选项排除掉,例如:http://gmat.la/question/OG%20Diagnostic%20Test-SC-98的答案选项A中的定语从句that will protect copyright holders)。
选项B:reminders for watching the endorsement应改为reminders to watch the endorsement。这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。用之于本题,在主句“提示顾客去看协议”这个事件发生时,显然对于“看协议”这个事件的发生与否有影响(不提示你,没准你就不看了)。另外,平行的对象应该是watch、compare和view,在本选项中三者在语法上不平行。
选项C:for watching错误同选项(B)。
选项D:本选项平行的三者是include,compare和view,这点是不正确的。应该平行的三者是看协议、对比签名和检查水印,这些都是需要提示的内容而不是说明包括内容。
选项E:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
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,_____the watermark while holding the check to the light.
E选项:including reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view

include的逻辑主语是印刷的说明(instructions):including作介词可以【跳跃指代!】,这里指代a series of printed instructions(不是“, including...”的逻辑主语一定是句子主语principal feature),这里[, including]用法没错
