Why are dashes, rather than parentheses or commas, used in this sentence?

Dashes are used instead of parentheses or commas in the sentence because of the following reasons:
-Parentheses are used to set off a participle word or words which can be omitted, but does not affect the whole thought of the sentence. In addition, parentheses could also be used to add a specific detail about the word beside it.
-Dashes, just like parentheses, are used to set additional information off. Dashes are commonly used if the words it enclosed already has a comma or commas in it, just to avoid confusion. In addition, dashes are more appropriate to use for interrupted sentences.

A. Parentheses are being used because they set off longer, less-related parenthetical asides.

Good luck on the rest! xx

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is an exceptional book published on 16 October 1950. The story is about four children who are taken out of London to avoid the Blitz and went to live with a professor in his large house. Living there, they discovered a wardrobe that led to a secret passageway to Narnia.

Similarly, in 1941 children were taken out of East London to escape the effects of World War II. These children came from different families and consolidated with one another in times of need.

 

The theme of the book and real-life events has striking similarities. The children in the book bond with another world to escape the realities of life while, the wartime children made friendships with each other to ease their frustration.
