A. The new mongoose cricket
bat has a handle that is twice as long and twice as thick as that of a traditional cricket bat, has a much larger sweet spot
The first sentence is a complete sentence, therefore, the second sentence would either need to be a complete sentence or a modifier. ",has a much larger sweet spot" does not have a subject, neither does it act as a modifier
B. The new mongoose cricket
bat has a handle that is twice as long and twice as thick as that of a traditional cricket bat having a much larger sweet spot
The meaning is distorted here. This answer choice says "traditional cricket bat having a much larger sweet spot", which indicates that the traditional cricket bat has a much larger sweet spot.
C. The new mongoose cricket
bat, whose handle is twice as long and twice as thick as that of a traditional cricket bat, has a much larger sweet spot
The modifier within the commas is correctly modifying the mongoose cricket bat. Also, this modifier is a non-essential modifier. Excluding the modifier, the sentence reads "The new mongoose cricket bat has a much larger sweet spot", which is grammatically correct as well
D. The new mongoose cricket
bat, whose handle is twice as long and twice as thick as that of a traditional cricket bat, and has a much larger sweet spot
The modifier within the commas is correctly modifying the mongoose cricket bat. However, the "and" after the second comma is unnecessary and makes the grammatical construction of the sentence incorrect
E. The new mongoose cricket
bat, whose handle is twice as long and twice as thick as that of a traditional cricket bat, and having a much larger sweet spot
The modifier within the commas is correctly modifying the mongoose cricket bat. However, the "and having" after the second comma is unnecessary and makes the grammatical construction of the sentence incorrect
