To replace the parentheses:
1.Choose C
2.Choose D
That will get rid of your parentheses.
I must admit,I had to look at question two a few times.But in question two,answer D uses a comma insertion that takes away the parentheses.Remember that commas,dashes and parentheses can serve the same purpose.Use commas and it is solved.
Do you have any typos,please check to make sure.If you do not,then these are the right answers.
