Tell my where to insert a pair of parentheses somewhere in this sentence. mary realized after thinking for a whole minute that she had left her wallet at the park.

Mary realized (after thinking for a whole minute) that she had left her wallet at the park.

The reason they go right there is because parenthesis are for inserting an idea that doesn't necessarily need to be there. If you took the parenthesis out with the words, the sentence would still make sense.

Mary realized that she had left her wallet at the park.

i used to know but i learned it a long time ago sorry

explanation:

is this a multiple choice? if not, it is essential to have read the requirements, the rubric, and know the directions and how to complete in order (if needed).
