Answer 3

Actually, for the first question it depends on which type of formatting you are using - MLA or APA. If you are using MLA formatting then the answer would be all punctuation inside the parenthesis. The second question the answer is the same no matter what - you would use TOO, because that means also, to is the opposite of from. I hope this clears it up for you.

Answer 4

Answer to #1 is A
When brackets come at the end of the sentence, the period/question mark goes on the outside of the bracket.
If it's a quotation mark at the end of the sentence, the period goes before the quotation marks ie He said "Whatever."

Answer to #2 is B
when you want it to mean "as well" use too

Answer 5

Question 1 - Punctuation goes outside of brackets in the example you gave. However, the brackets may contain their own punctuation as well. For example, He asks such silly questions (i.e., "How high is the sky?").

Question 2 - "too" is the correct substitution for "as well" and "also."
