I have a query along similar lines. As per O.G "and thus..." is the beginning of the second clause. But the comma always precedes FANBOYs to introduce an independent clause.
Hi Mayank, usually presence of a
comma in such situations is more expected when there is a
full clause after the FANBOYs conjunction.
Mayank has studied all the concepts and is now doing the assignments.-
comma before
and is not as likely in this case, because there is no
full clause after
and (since the subject
Mayank is not explicitly mentioned after
and) .

In any case, these are
likely scenarios, at best. Presence/absence of a comma in such scenarios should
never be the reason to choose/eliminate an answer choice.

As per me "and" introduced parallelism b/w "comes" and "thus". Can you help where I am going wrong?
This is not correct. Parallelism is between
comes and
is (both
verbs). Note that
thus is an
adverb and cannot be parallel to a
verb.
