Question

Which of the following excerpts uses a parenthetical remark to create a conversational style?

A. She in turn had told him - indeed, had summoned him in order to entrust him with - another story, one from long ago, before the Civil War.
B. Most of the time, it’s a white character using the word - or, most conspicuously, the novel itself, in ts voice - with an uglier edge
C. The same few passages, in the very first pages, remind me of this - they’re markings on an entryway - sudden bursts of bristly adjective clusters.
D. It may represent the colosseum American literature came to producing an analog for “Ulysses,” which influenced it deeply - each in its way is a provincial Modernist novel about a young man trying to awaken from history - and like “Ulysses,” it lives as a book more praised than read, or more esteemed than enjoyed.

Answer 1

The excerpt which uses a parenthetical remark to create a conversational style is: A. She in turn had told him - indeed, had summoned him in order to entrust him with - another story, one from long ago, before the Civil War.

A parenthetical remark can be defined as a statement that is spoken or written in addition to the main part of a sentence but it is not essential to it. Thus, a parenthetical remark is used by a writer or speaker to either explain or qualifies what is being talked about, without changing the grammatical structure or meaning of the original sentence.

Note: A parenthesis is denoted or represented by this symbol (-).

In this context, "She in turn had told him - indeed, had summoned him in order to entrust him with - another story, one from long ago, before the Civil War" is an excerpt which contains an additional sentence that doesn't change the grammatical structure or meaning of the original sentence.
