D. It is recommended by dentists that one floss, brush, and use mouthwash two times a day - Here, we need to carefully look and we will find both grammar and meaning errors, both of which must be used to eliminate this option.
The grammar decision maker is -
Parallelism- If "one" is the stem then one floss, one brush, and one use mouthwash is correct as per rule but if we try to dig deeper, we will see there are 2 meanings for this language (a) one (a person) floss, brush, and use mouthwash - this conveys the meaning correctly, (b) one (1) floss, (1) brush, (1) use mouthwash - this meaning seems ridiculous when (1) use mouthwash comes into the picture but (1) floss and (1) brush could seem to fit if (1) use mouthwash wasn't there. Given, there is some meaning loss, and when compared with Option A, this option doesn't seem to be the best version.
