The writer varies syntax in the sentence by separating a related idea using parentheses. This is seen in the inclusion of the clause that discusses those who claimed to slide down a hill while standing on a flat surface, which provides additional context without disrupting the main flow of the sentence.
Use the sentence to answer the question.
Sherman Poppen is credited with inventing the snowboard (though many before him, including children and adults, have claimed to slide seamlessly down a hill while standing on a single flat surface), which allowed for the sport to take hold during the 1970s and 1980s.
