Which sentence is punctuated correctly? I preferred to (ride horses) and spend time playing different outdoor sports. Christina spent time in the arts (and crafts cabin), making things to send home. I think that (Christina and I) will be counselors at the camp when we're older. Christina and I went to the same summer camp for years (since we were 8).

Usually things are written in parentheses that if they were to be removed from the sentence, the sentence would still make sense.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

So this is asking which sentence uses the parenthesis correctly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just read all of the sentences without the words that are in parentheses.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

The parenthesis are basically for the omitted words.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What they said^^ :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Re-read the sentences like this and then tell me which one you think is correct: I preferred to and spend time playing different outdoor sports. Christina spent time in the arts, making things to send home. I think that will be counselors at the camp when we're older. Christina and I went to the same summer camp for years.

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):
