B. Because of his food allergies, our dog must eat at the same time each day. C.Kim, who was not invited to her friend’s party, was understandably upset.

Answer 1

The answer is D.) Pea soup, which is my friend's favorite, is very easy to make.

Answer 2

D. Pea soup, which is my friend’s favorite, is very easy to make.

The nonessential information is that pea soup is her friend's favorite. The fact that it is her friend's favorite does not relate to how easy it is to make. In the other options, the information is essential. For A, it tells when it is important to know the directions. In Option B it explains why the dog must eat at the same time. In Option C, it tells why Kim is upset.
