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

A. Leaking in at least a dozen​ places, the campers abandoned those tents and moved to the​ dry, warm cabin. B. The tents​, leak
zepelin [54]
The correct answer is <span>B. The tents​, leaking in at least a dozen​ places, were abandoned by the campers who were lured by the​ dry, warm cabin.
This is the only sentences that places the modifier <em>leaking in at least a dozen places </em>correctly.
A and D are incorrect because the way those two sentences are written, it would seem that the campers, and not the tents, were leaking. C is also incorrect because it seems that the warm cabins are leaking, when in fact the tents were. So B is the only correct answer.
