Both sentences B and D are grammatically correct. However, they differ slightly in wording and emphasis.
- Sentence B uses "Take it out of the oven, and then you should cut everybody a slice," which conveys a more immediate and direct instruction.
- Sentence D uses "You should take it out of the oven, and then you should cut everybody a slice," which is slightly more formal and emphasizes the advisability of the actions.
