<p>The</a> Official SAT Question of the Day</p>
<p>Can anyone explain to me why the answer isn't B? I thought you can't say "and <em>_" then a "or _</em>" like "I like cheese, donuts, and pizza or soda". Isn't that a grammatical error?</p>
<p>your example isn’t what they did
what they did is "I like cheese, donuts and pizza, or soda.
the donuts and pizza are not separated by a comma and therefore serve as one term.</p>
<p>Even if you don’t use a comma, doesn’t the “and” make the “or” cancel out?</p>
<p>no, you are allowed to include the “and” as long as it doesn’t indicate the end of the list (i.e as long as it doesn’t have the comma before it)</p>
<p>I think an important thing you needed to know was that “hooks and eyes” acts as one object.</p>
