To determine the correct word to fill in the blank, let's examine the structure of the sentence. The sentence is giving instructions for a recipe, and it is stating that the flour, salt, and baking soda need to be mixed with the butter, eggs, and vanilla mixture. To indicate that the flour mixture should be mixed with the butter mixture, we need to use the word "and."
Therefore, the correct answer is to add the word "and" to the sentence: "The recipe says to stir together flour, salt, and baking soda and add to the butter, eggs, and vanilla mixture and stir to blend."
Adding a question mark would change the sentence into a question and alter its intended meaning: "The recipe says to stir together flour, salt, and baking soda? Add to butter, eggs, and vanilla mixture and stir to blend." This doesn't make sense in the context of a recipe instruction.
Inserting a comma, like this: "The recipe says to stir together flour, salt, and baking soda, add to butter, eggs, and vanilla mixture and stir to blend," creates a grammatical error, as the verb phrase "stir to blend" doesn't have a subject.
Inserting a period and making two separate sentences would also create a grammatical error: "The recipe says to stir together flour, salt, and baking soda. Add to butter, eggs, and vanilla mixture and stir to blend." Here, the second sentence "Add to butter, eggs, and vanilla mixture and stir to blend" lacks a subject.
Therefore, using the word "and" is the correct choice to maintain the intended meaning and grammatical structure of the sentence.
