关于独立主格的用法，何时加with

好色之图

原题如下，紫皮书SC87. The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian--vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes, and meat rarely.
(A)    and meat rarely
(B)    and meat was rare
(C)    with meat as rare
(D)    meat a rarity
(E)    with meat as a rarity
The best answer here must qualify the statement made in the main clause. The diet... was largely vegetarian: it cannot be treated as part of the list of vegetarian foods. In other words, the best answer must logically and grammatically attach to the main clause when the list is omitted. Choice A fails this test:The diet. . . was largely vegetarian, and meat rarely. D fails also, because it lacks a function word such as with to link it to the main clause. The wording of choice B is imprecise and ambiguous--for example, it could mean that meat was scarce, or that it was not well done or medium. Choice C is unidiomatic. Clearly phrased, grammatically linked, and idiomatically sound, choice E is best.

我的问题是，其实D选项也是独立主格，例子如下：
The dog came in, its head drooping/Its leg broken//its nose a strowberry
这里分词和名词都可以用作独立主格, 同时还有介词短语也可以做独立主格表示伴随：
The soldier came in, gun in hand. 这句话也可以写成：The soldier came in , with gun in hand.

在原题中，我认为D也是独立主格表示伴随，meat表示的是meal cakes的伴随状态。
我想错误原因是否在于，这样表达意思不够清晰，如果是meat of which a rarity会更好，但是还是不如E好，是么？

我想问一下大牛，在独立主格的时候，什么时候要加上With，什么时候不需要？

                                                               D 没有谓语何来run-on？

所谓run on sentenc跟动词没有关系，而是跟连接词有关系。虽说dash后面是一种解释，不一定是要符合句子的原则，可是明眼看的出来这个是个List。即便是list，末尾的词也应该是and为最后一个词来结尾。所以D是绝对不对的。所以我说这个D像是run on sentence一样的，单独的列着

但是这题也不能用and来连接，因为and表示平行，可是你看得出来前面的list和后面的明显不是一类的东西
