ReplyDelete(A): even though the first part of the sentence makes sense grammatically, the comma after the close-parenthesis actually creates a comma splice — two complete sentences separated by only a comma. (Sentence 1: It’s odorless, tasteless, and harmless because it’s so cold (–320.44°F to be exact); Sentence 2: It boils at room temperature and evaporates out of your food as it rapidly chills it.) As a result, this answer can be eliminated.
(C) creates the same error; this option merely places an additional comma before because. Note that the lack of a comma after tasteless is a distraction; the comma before the last item in a list is optional.
(D) is incorrect because no comma should ever be placed after a subordinating conjunction (because).
(B) is correct because comma + and = period, and the sentence can be logically divided after harmless: It’s odorless, tasteless, and harmless. Because it’s so cold (–320.44°F to be exact), it boils at room temperature and evaporates out of your food as it rapidly chills it.
