Select the sentence that correctly uses parentheses. Everyone who lives (in the United States) hears the story about George Washington and the cherry tree. The story about how (George Washington) told his father that he accidentally cut down the cherry tree is often told to teach children the value of honesty. George Washington told his father, "I cannot tell a lie. (I cut down the cherry tree!)" Do you believe the story about the president (George Washington) who, as a boy, admitted to his father that he cut down the cherry tree?

The first three sentences don't even need parenthesis because they're not describing a full topic, where as the last one it says president (george washington) makes more sense because it's showing who the topic is about.
