If you can see what is wrong with the sentence i have encircled, you win a prize.

Lol. "To" after the parenthesis should not be there.
Edit : To clarify, I mean it shouldn't be >>there<<. It should be after "respectfully," not after the parenthesis.

If there was a comma after listen, it would be correct.
In reality, there isn't anything that massively grammatically wrong with that sentence.

I don't get it. "Listen" is inside the parentheses, so it wouldn't affect the actual sentence. "To hear to a passionate speech" does not make grammatical sense. Putting that "to" in the parentheses, away from the real sentence, would make the sentence grammatically correct.

Oh my, I didn't notice that. I thought it was pointed towards the parenthesis.
My bad. It's 5 AM.

A phrase within a parenthesis is to be treated as a separate entity. "To hear to a passionate speech" doesn't make sense.

Which form the shape of a circle.
On a slight tangent, the thread title keeps reminding me of this http://fun.drno.de/flash/ButtonRedBig.swf

A circle requires one arch, unbroken. This image does not meet said criteria.
Site hates swf linkers, and has borked your link.
