Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) You studied (all day) for the grammar test.
Correct Use of Parentheses:
Parentheses are used to provide additional or explanatory information that is not essential to the main sentence but adds context.
- In option (a), "all day" is correctly written as two separate words within the parentheses, which is grammatically correct.
Example:
- She waited (patiently) for the bus.
Additional Information:

- Incorrect because "all-day" is hyphenated, which is unnecessary here since "all day" is not functioning as a compound adjective.
You studied (allday) for the grammar test.
- Incorrect because "allday" is not a valid English word.
