Marla used the same ingredients -- sugar, salt, flour, molasses, butter, ginger, salt, baking soda, and an egg -- to make four batches of gingerbread. She baked each batch in a pan in the oven for 30 minutes. When she had finished, she discovered that three batches were fine, but one was completely inedible.
Which of the following, if true, would best explain the paradox described?
(A) The oven was preheated to 350 degrees.
It doesn't relate to the issue. As for all 4 batches temperature would be the same(B) Marla mixed up the salt and the sugar on the last batch.
This helps define that though ingredients were the same, the order went different and hence one batch was an issue(C) The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of light molasses.
It doesn't relate to the issue. As for all 4 batches temperature would be the same(D) Marla used four pans, all the same size.
It doesn't relate to the issue. As for all 4 batches temperature would be the same(E) Marla moved quickly once the first batch was done.
