My brother (he has read hundreds of books on the subject) told me that the samural lived by a strict code of honor. My brother (He has read hundreds of books on the subject) told me that the samural lived by a strict code of honor.

Respuesta :

My brother (he has read hundreds of books on the subject) told me that the samurai lived by a strict code of honor.

Parenthetical phrases that interrupt a sentence are not to be capitalized unless they start with a proper noun. They also should not have ending punctuation inside the parentheses. Although the phrase inside the parentheses could qualify as a full clause on its own, in parentheses it is merely a phrase which interrupts the actual sentence by adding additional information, and should therefore not be treated as its own sentence grammatically.

The correct answer is

My brother (he has read hundreds of books on the subject) told me that the samurai lived by a strict code of honor.

what is Punctuation?

Punctuation helps convey the precise meaning of a sentence – and in fact can even change the meaning, as in this well-known example:

A woman, without her man, is nothing.

A woman: without her, man is nothing.

what is capitalization?

Like punctuation, capitalization helps convey information. The first word of every sentence is capitalized, signaling that a new sentence has begun. Proper nouns – the name of a particular person, place, or thing – are capitalized to indicate uniqueness. However, it is not correct to use capitalization merely to make a word look or seem important.
