the question of 'and'
I am wondering if you would like to join us in the party and _____ in anticipation of your earliest reply.
A. I am
B am
C leave it empty
I suppose A is the best choice, but I don't understand why B is wrong. The reason why C is not acceptable, in my opinion, is that 'and' must be used to connect two parts of the same structure. In above sentence, there is no grammatical structure corresponding to "in anticipation of ...", so C is wrong.
Please correct me if I my understanding is wrong.

The best choice is A. You can't omit the subject but still keep "to be" verb so the answer B is wrong. In the last phrase, something is weird. you can write:
Please VRSP as soon as possible if you can come.

Grammatically both A and B are correct, but first part of the sentence is informal and the last phrase is very stilted. I would say something like :-
"Would you like to join us at our party? --- please let us know soon if you can come".
