Question

This quotation is an example of which of the following literary terms?

Answer 1

Answer: Hello! I may be wrong, but think you may have forgotten to provide the literary terms that go after "following". Nonetheless, the quotation (or quotation mark) is an example of punctuation.

Explanation: You'd most commonly see this "(insert word)" around dialogue, citations, or even around words to imply emphasis or sarcasm somehow. Some examples are as follows:

• "Go get my football!" the kid said to their friend. (Dialogue)
• The text says, "......." (Citation)
• She would "love" it if you'd kept played your music so loud at midnight. (Sarcasm, but not a very good example)
• They called the dogs mean words, like "dirty" and "bad". (Emphasis)

I hope that this helps out! Have a good day! :)
