Blueberries (my favorite fruit) are delicious on oatmeal.[___]

Answer
A
Remove the parentheses.
B
Replace the parentheses with hyphens.
C
No revision is needed.

Explanation

“My favorite fruit” is extra information about blueberries, and the sentence is complete without it: “Blueberries are delicious on oatmeal.” Parentheses correctly set off this nonessential aside, so they do not need to be removed or replaced with hyphens. The correct choice is “No revision is needed.”
