Always remember that 'that' followed by a comma is more likely to be incorrect. And for me the main reason why E could be wrong is that includes many toys and electronics implies that 60,000 items include many... but the original sentence seems to imply that free shipping includes many... well the main diff between the two is that A implies free shipping includes 60,000 gift items and many toys... while E implies that free shipping includes 60,000 gift items, which in turn includes many....

The use of that to introduce a non-restrictive clause is incorrect on the GMAT, which should be used instead.
BTW OG 12 OA of 10 th SC problem tells that insistence on use of of "which" for non-restrictive clause is controversial, you may want to review. But i dont remember reading this term "non restrictive" clause in Manhattan guide
Zeno's paradoxes are a set of problems generally thought to have been devised by Zeno of Elea to support Parmenides doctrine that "all is one" and that, contrary to the evidence of our senses, the belief in plurality and change is mistaken, and in particular that motion is nothing but an illusion.
This is the correct answer. I personally feel that 'and that'. It would be great to know why it is not wrong. The book says 'that' to ensure parallelism. Is this correct?

Thank you in advance..

why are you focussed on "comma". Besides comma I feel is correctly placed "contrary to the evidence.." is modifying "that" which is demonstrative pronoun, it is referring to what is in the doctrine.
Zeno's paradoxes are a set of problems generally thought to have been devised by Zeno of Elea to support Parmenide's doctrine -
that "all is one" and that,......., the belief......, and in particular that motion is nothing but.....
I hope the parallelism is evident from this....
Please share the source of the question as well as the other choices

I have Aristotle SC Grail and Manhattan SC Guide? Do you guys think that this is enough for SC or should I go for some other books also ?
Hi I think these books are enough. I was horrible with sentence corrections. Using these books has helped me improve significantly. I would personally suggest that you begin with the SC grain and then graduate to Manhattan. I think that would be very helpful.

i fully agree. Manhattan is in fact better than Grail. Grail is mostly developed by Indians and who can be more reliable about American English than American themselves, so I would go for Manhattan (old and reputed one), additionally there are few things said in MAnhattan such as avoid "progressive" tense to express future (such as I am going to meet you tomorrow vs I will meet you tomorrow); and avoid verb form "to be + to" such as "they are to have lunch together", whereas Grail uses these things in their examples as well as in theory. so I got confused and decided to stick to Manhattan prep material
