How to end a sentence with " " and ()?
How would you end a sentence that ends in either a quote " " or in () ?
Is the " or ) the last caricature, or do you still have to put the period, question mark, or exclmation at the end ?

I am positive it is period end quote i.e. example: He said, "let's go to the store."
The part about the parenthesis... just say no. You shouldn't end a sentance that way -- it would be poorly constructed.

Yes, all sentences must end with a . ! ? : or ;.
The quote one is rather odd ... if the quote is a sentence then you put a period both inside and outside your " if it is the end of your sentence.

you still have to put the ending punctuation....the . ? ! etc....although, because of the english language, sometimes it is easier to find another way to write the sentence so that it is in the middle; to make it more understandable.....i am also thinking that it would be weird to put anything in () at the end of a sentence because these are meant to bring in a random idea or description in the middle of a main sentence.....

well the brackets always ends the sentence.........
so it would be something like this........
(" .!,_ ")
so everything is in between the brackets and the quotes...
