Quiz: dashes, parentheses, and hyphens 3: mechanics which choice shows the correct use of parentheses? as soon as we had finished dinner (it was about 6: 30 p. i started my homework. (as soon as we had finished dinner it was about 6: 30 p. i started my homework. as soon as (we had finished dinner) it was about 6: 30 p. m., i started my homework. as soon as we had finished dinner it was about (6: 30 p. i started my homework.

The first answer is correct since you are only supposed to put information that clarifies the sentence in parentheses. Only putting dinner in parentheses wouldn’t make sense since it is a crucial part of the sentence, nor would you only put 6:30pm in parentheses since you already have about outside of the parentheses so saying As soon as we had finished dinner it was about, I started my homework.,Doesn’t make sense that means that even if you put things in parentheses the sentence should still make sense if the parentheses aren’t there.

I hope this makes sense if not please comment and I can try to explain it better :)
