Choice A: We conducted a survey of those in the immediate area and asked which type of notary stamp each liked best.
Essentially, the only thing that differentiates Choice A from the rest, is it's pronoun used.
In the original, the pronoun phrase used in relation to the adjective "those," was "he or she."
From this we can infer that Choice B is out of the question since it only states "she."
Choice C, though a tempting choice, is incorrect since the word "they" isn't inclusive enough.
Choice D is erroneous because it does not provide more clarity than the original. In fact, it doesn't even seem like a revision since the two pronouns were joined by a forward slash.
Definition:Sentence fragments are groups of words that look like sentences, but aren't.
Example:Which is why I cried.
This sentence could be corrected by removing "which is why." The sentence "I cried." is a complete sentence. I is the subject, cried is the action.The sentence could also be corrected by joining it with an independent clause. I was sad, which is why I cried.
