Answer:
Choose the sentence that is complete and grammatically correct.
a) A young girl Esperanza Cordero is the narrator
b) A young girl (Esperanza Cordero) is the narrator.
c) A young girl, (Esperanza Cordero), is the narrator.
d) A young girl (Esperanza Cordero) the narrator.
Explanation:
The correct option is b) A young girl (Esperanza Cordero) is the narrator. In this case the parentheses are used to provide additional or secondary information about the subject of the sentence (A young girl). In this case, two commas without the parenthesis could have been used as well to enclose the information.
Option C) is incorrect as there is no necessity to put both the commas and the parentheses to enclose the additional secondary information.
Option D) Is incorrect as the sentence is missing the verb "To be".
Option A) Is incorrect as it is missing all the punctuation.
