Peter (the biggest chimp) was not very helpful to Jane, but Sam was.
Peter the biggest chimp was not very helpful to Jane (but Sam was).
Peter the biggest chimp was (not very helpful) to Jane, but Sam was.
Answer explanation
The correct sentence using parentheses is 'Peter (the biggest chimp) was not very helpful to Jane, but Sam was.' Parentheses are used to provide additional information that is not part of the main sentence, but can give more context or clarify meaning. In this sentence, 'the biggest chimp' is additional information about Peter.
