The correct answer is D. By the time he retired in 1991, he had won numerous all-star honors (12)
Explanation:
Parentheses () is a punctuation mark mainly used to add information which usually clarifies some section of the sentence and works as an aside, which means the information that is added does not grammatically belong to the sentence but is somehow independent to it. Additionally to this, a parenthesis can include a word, number, a fragment or even multiple sentences that serve as a comment or clarification of the main sentence. Considering this in the case of the sentence "By the time he retired in 1991, he had won numerous all-star honors 12" the only information that serves as a clarification of the main sentence and does not belong to it grammatically is "12" that serves as a clarification of the number of all-star honours the man being described received, therefore number "12" should be in parentheses, which means the correct sentence is "By the time he retired in 1991, he had won numerous all-star honors (12)".

When writing, it is always best to be as concise as possible in order to have your writing be the most impactful and best understood. Comprehension will always decrease for readers when more words a present. What this means is that you will always want to say what you need to say in as few words as possible but with as many words as necessary. With this in mind, when looking at the underlined words, “long works of fiction,” the word that best replaces this is “novels” because a novel is just that—a long work of fiction. This would be much like using the word “oceans” instead of saying “the water that covers about 70% the world.”
