<p>The wide variety of spices and condiments used in sausage making including salt and, it depends on the ethnic or regional origin of the recipe, coriander, nutmeg, cloves, garlic, vinegar, mace, pepper, chili peppers, or pistachio nuts.</p>

<p>Answer Choices<br>
(A) including salt and, it depends<br>
(B) include salt, depending<br>
(C) includes salt, and it depends<br>
(D) includes salt and, depending<br>
(E) including salt and, depending </p>

<p>I narrowed the answer choices down to C and D then chose C, which is incorrect.</p>

<p>Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by using a singular verb, “includes,” to agree with the singular noun, “variety,” and by eliminating the unnecessary pronoun “it.”</p>

<p>^^ That is CB's explanation</p>

<p>I think CB made a slight mistake. I would concur that the correct answer is D if the answer was (( (D) includes salt ,and depends)) </p>

<p>Anybody else thinks it is a CB mistake.</p>

2

<p>No, it’s not a mistake. The sentence structure is correct here; The wide variety… includes salt and, depending on the recipe, this or that</p>

3

<p>If you have “it” then it creates a comma splice because “it depends on the ethnic or regional origin” can be a sentence itself. Thus, “it” is inappropriate in that context. D</p>

4

<p>Oh cortana is right, “it” is unnecessary in the context.</p>

<p>Cortana, but if the sentence went …, and it</p>

<p>would that be grammatically correct, because “and” is a coordinator and “and” in the sentence connects two independent clauses?</p>

5

<p>But what is " it? "
the wide variety?
sausage making?
salt?</p>

<p>When you have two answers remaining after elimination process,
always stick with the answer that explains the original purpose of the sentence and has an unambiguous meaning/word/etc.</p>
