Take a look at the passage again:
Baking in his hot car during rush-hour traffic, Joe slurped up the last
few drops of his iced tea. And hoped that after this week's paycheck he
could afford to make the costly repair to his broken air conditioner.
You chose to use a comma to connect the lonely verb fragment to the main clause in front, like this:
Baking in his hot car during rush-hour traffic, Joe slurped up the last
few drops of his iced tea, and hoped that
after this week's paycheck he could afford to make the costly repair to
his broken air conditioner.
Unfortunately, you do not need any punctuation to connect these two parts. Review the rules.
