I've come across with the sentence below:
One innovative company, Bummer Baskets, sells a range of care
packages, each designed to assuage a particular variety of pain,
dominated by the chocolate-laden Break-Up Basket
Now, could you tell me please which explanation might be correct:
A:Bummer Baskets is dominated by the chocolate-laden Break-Up Basket
B: Pains are dominated by the chocolate-laden Break-Up Basket.
I know the meaning of "Break-Up Basket" but I don't understand the meaning of "dominated by the chocolate-laden Break-Up Basket". Maybe because I don't recognise the sentence's object.
The fuller text is:
Beyond self-sufficiency and independence, money is also symbolically
capable of anesthetizing pain. The Chicago Tribune coined the term
retail therapy on Christmas Eve in 1986 to describe the act of trading
money for mood-improving purchases, and comfort buying drives the
consumption of diverse products from single-serve ice cream to
romantic comedies on DVD. One innovative company, Bummer Baskets,
sells a range of care packages, each designed to assuage a particular
variety of pain, dominated by the chocolate-laden Break-Up Basket.

This is a slovenly sentence which leaves it to the reader to figure out from context how the parts hang together.
What the author probably means is that the range of care packages is dominated by the chocolate-laden Break-Up Basket â that is, the BUB is the most popular of the care packages and 'dominates' sales in that category.
