Answer
A
to show that information has been omitted from a quotation
B
to add parenthetical information within parentheses
C
to show that information has been added to a quotation
D
to indicate that formatting has been added to a quotation
E
to show that text has been quoted from another source

Explanation

Brackets can set off a parenthetical note inside parentheses, and they show words or clarifications an editor has added to a quotation. They can also mark added formatting or emphasis, often with a note such as “[emphasis added].” Omissions are shown with ellipses, and quotation marks—not brackets—show that text comes from another source.
