The blizzard deposited more than a foot of snow on the train tracks, prompted the transit authority to shut down service temporarily, and causing discontent among commuters who were left stranded for hours
A: The blizzard deposited more than a foot of snow on the train tracks, prompting the transit authority to shut down service temporarily and causing discontent among commuters who were left stranded for hours
I can understand answer which change "ROMPTED" to "ROMPTING". But why comma was removed in the answer? It is not clear for me. Can comma be added in front of "and", if parallel clause is long or independent? 这句子不够长吗？
在 prompting the transit authority to shut down service temporarily and causing discontent among commuters who were left stranded for hours 两者是 平行的 Verb modifer 修饰前面的紧邻的 clause ”The blizzard deposited more than a foot of snow on the train tracks". 标点符号一般是方便读者的阅读，即你一个词群一个词群去读句子， 相同功能且平行modifer 放在一起且没有逗号隔开读起来挺好的况且这两个modifer 也不是很长影响你阅读。
