Which choice shows the correct use of parentheses? a. my alarm stopped (could the battery be dead already? ) and made me late for school. b. my alarm stopped (could the battery be dead already)? and made me late for school. c. (my alarm stopped could the battery be dead already? ) and made me late for school. d. (my alarm stopped could the battery be dead already)? and made me late for school.

A. My alarm stopped (Could the battery be dead already?) and made me late for school.

Explanation:

Parentheses are one of the tools we can use to enclose extra information in a sentence, like a comment, an explanation, a description or an example that briefly interrupt a sentence, so they never begin a sentence. Since parentheses enclose extra information, they can be removed, and the sentence would still make sense. Likewise, there are a few rules to use them, some of them include not to over-use them as they can be distracting and not to put any punctuation mark before parentheses.

Option A is the correct answer because it abides with all the previous rules, while the other sentences do not.
