Question

Select all of the true sentences.

Answer 1

Following sentences are true-

• Parentheses enclose added material.
• Parentheses enclose numerical figures that confirm written numbers.
• Parentheses enclose explanatory material.
• A parenthetic expression is a group of words, an idea, that is not closely related to the rest of the sentence.

Explanation:

Parentheses is an explanatory word or sentence that is being inserted in any article, story, or passage. Parentheses are usually marked by brackets (round or box) or in some cases even dashes.

For example: She finally answered (after taking ten minutes to think) that she did not understand the question. Parentheses helps the writer to provide or add an additional information, which they otherwise can't.
