Im confuse can someone explain it to me?

Answer 1

You've posted two paragraphs with errors in them and two that have supposedly been corrected.

What directions have you been given? What are you supposed to do with these?

Answer 2

When using parentheses, if you have a parenthetical idea within a parenthetical idea, you would use brackets inside of parentheses.
They want me to correct the paragraphs with parentheses or brackets inside of parentheses, but I don't understand it that well and I been going over it over a weeks or so.
