“comma+and/but（fanboys）”后面一定要连接完整句子吗？
不一定！！！
根据曼哈顿论坛https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/forums/post70164.html#p70164，
RON回复到：
”MOST IMPORTANTLY ...
PUNCTUATION IS NOT TESTED ON THIS EXAM!
don't bother with "rules" based on punctuation, because (a) gmac doesn't test them, and, more importantly, (b) the vast majority of such "rules" are, well, not actually rules.
the only time you'll want to mind punctuation, at all, is when it actually differentiates grammatical structures: for instance, "no comma + ____ing" is different from "comma + ____ing". but, those kinds of things aren't really punctuation issues -- they are issues concerning the resulting structures. for instance, the example i just mentioned would be a modifier issue, not a punctuation issue.
regarding this whole belief that comma + and/but/etc MUST introduce another complete sentence:
well, sometimes yes, sometimes no.
this "rule" is not really a rule. it's an approximate guideline in most cases, but it's definitely not a strict rule.
* quite often, the comma will be omitted when there are two complete sentences -- if those sentences are short enough to render the comma unnecessary.
since the doors are locked and the windows are latched, we're ready to go.
--> this is fine; there's no reason to separate "the doors are locked" and "the windows are latched" with a comma. indeed, the sentence would become a lot more confusing if you did that.
* also -- again quite often -- a comma will be included even if the structures are not complete sentences, especially if the structures are long enough to make the sentence unreadable without the comma.
【for instance】:
i shut the windows and locked the doors --> this sentence doesn't need any additional punctuation.
i shut the windows so firmly that i would later have trouble opening them, and locked the doors using both the standard locks and the deadbolts -->
these are not complete sentences, but the sentence is still written with the comma because it's absolutely unreadable without the comma. (try it yourself.)
-->>>反推：两独立句子的连接，必须要有什么条件？
查曼哈顿verbal可知，满足以下三个条件之一就可以：
①从属连词（though、because、since等等）
②逗号+fanboys（for,and, nor, but, or, yet, so），逗号可省
③分号
-->>>补充【曼哈顿P100】对于and的用法：
the most common parallelism marker is the word and.
This word always signals parallelism and can be used to connect any two
similar structures, from independent clauses to individual words such as nouns
or adjectives.
