Detailed explanation-1: -Parentheses are used to enclose incidental or supplemental information or comments. The parenthetical information or comment may serve to clarify or illustrate, or it may just offer a digression or afterthought. Parentheses are also used to enclose certain numbers or letters in an outline or list.
Detailed explanation-2: -Parenthetical Elements Use parentheses to set off ideas that function as asides in a sentence or paragraph. Parenthetical information can be removed without altering the meaning of a sentence or paragraph.
Detailed explanation-3: -In formal writing in the U.S., a leading tendency is to follow the abbreviations with a comma and enclose the text in parentheses. Macy said she’d join us at the tavern at 6:30 p.m. (i.e., 7:00 in Macy time). Please bring something to the potluck dinner (e.g., salad, appetizer, dessert).
Detailed explanation-4: -Parentheses (always used in pairs) allow a writer to provide additional information. The parenthetical material might be a single word, a fragment, or multiple complete sentences. Whatever the material inside the parentheses, it must not be grammatically integral to the surrounding sentence.
