Without grouping symbols, the expression $$\verb/2 ⋅ 3 ^ 3 + 4/$$ has a value of $58$. Insert grouping symbols in the expression $\verb/2 ⋅ 3 ^ 3 + 4/$ to produce the indicated values.

A. $62$
B. $220$
C. $4{,}374$
D. $279{,}936$

I have solved for A and B.

A. $2\cdot ( 3^3 + 4 ) = 62$

B. $(2\cdot 3)^3 + 4 = 220$

C and D just seem impossible to conjure.

Perhaps you could consider the following: $$2\times 3^{(3+4)}$$$$(2\times 3)^{(3+4)}$$
