Answer 1

a. It connects two independent clauses.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you wanted the sentence to make sense without the commas, you would have to break it into two sentences;

"This sandwich gave me super powers"

"The greatest snadwich ever made gave me super powers"

A common rule for the English language is for sentences to be as short as possible while making the most sense.
