Answer 1

Answer:

Eddie went to a (movie) theater with his friends to see the new fantasy flick (The Gremlins Attack the Mouse People), and they sat through the movie twice.

Explanation:

Parentheses should be used in sentences to add information to terms already mentioned in the sentence. The words within the parentheses should complement the message conveyed by the sentence, but the removal or addition of them does not interfere with the main meaning of the sentence.

For this reason, we can say that the responsible "Eddie went to a (movie) theater with his friends to see the new fantasy flick (The Gremlins Attack the Mouse People), and they sat through the movie twice."
