I think my answer would be C.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Think about it this way: parentheses are only used when. without them, wouldn't sound quite right in the sentence.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

D. I will return your e-mail tomorrow (January 27).

Ok so we can elimante A and C so my answer would be B

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

As I've said before. Parentheses are used when otherwise, they would fit in the sentence properly. If you said "The role calls for five different costume changes!" it would make sense
