Most of the time, the plural would be correct. Sometimes you might avoid the phrase altogether by just putting the item in parentheses (like this). Saying it and then doing it is redundant.
The main meaning of the word parenthesis is a comment, amplification, or explanation of something in the narrative. You can think of it as a pause, or an aside, that is added almost like a footnote (but without the need to add a formal reference). They may also separate a comment that seems not to fit (in a grammatical sense) the narrative style.
In many contexts, you can avoid the issue by using the adjective "parenthetical" instead of the phrase in question. For instance, replace:
"the names listed in parentheses"
with:
"the parenthetical list of names"
This approach might not work well in a style guide, e.g.,
"For each billing category, provide three supporting examples enclosed in parentheses."
No, it is not. To be correct, the expression requires parenthesis, which are missing.
Use brackets to indicate parenthetical information within a parenthetical expression. E.g. During a lengthy visit to Argentina, Roberts and an assistant (James Smith, who was later to publish hiw own monograph on a South American coutry [Brazil] spent weeks...)...

-20 Yes, that's correct. This is what it means:- 2(-3-5)-(2 + 2) And that is 2 x (-3-5) - (2 +2) = 2 x (-8) -(4) = -16 - 4 = -20

No, it is not. To be correct, the expression requires parenthesis, which are missing.
Whether it is technically correct to use both dashes and parentheses in the same sentence would depend on the structure of the sentence. On a practical level, however, that much punctuation might tend to confuse your readers.
It's a correct English phrase or expression.
The expression is: Is that what I think it is? An expression of introspective curiosity that is commonly used in America. Hope that helps?
That is a comprehensible expression but "expectant parent" may be more colloquial.
"you're welcome" is correct. 'your ...' is a misspelling.
Having an agreed order of operation helps in that it means less brackets (parentheses) are needed in an expression (making it less messy) to get the same (correct) answer.
