'including the following' followed by semi colon may be having some redundancy..

I am not sure on this.. but looks like some 'redundant' topic followed by parallelism
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
Regards,
HSPA.

Hi Crick,

Why is including the following wrong in option A????
The punctuation : => represents "namely" or "that is/are". "including the following" shows redundancy.

I would go with A, because according to the MGMT guide, whatever comes before colon should be able to stand alone as a sentence. I am waiting for some expert to comment. In the mean time if someone can post the OA , that will be great.

Down to A & C. Will go with C, since include the following followed by a semicolon looks redudant.

Some expert please help on this.

Thanks.
