    Correct Answer

    3. Is a nickname an abbreviation?

    A. Yes

    B. No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes

    Explanation
    A nickname is a shortened or altered version of a person's name, which is
    similar to an abbreviation. It is a familiar or informal name used instead of or
    alongside someone's real or full name. Like an abbreviation, a nickname
    condenses a longer name into a shorter form. Therefore, a nickname can be
    considered as an abbreviation.

    Rate this question: 2 1

    4. Can an initialism also be known as an acronym?

    A. Yes

    B. No

    Correct Answer
    B. No

    Explanation
    An initialism cannot be known as an acronym because they are two different
    types of abbreviations. An initialism is formed by using the initial letters of each
    word in a phrase and pronouncing them separately, while an acronym is formed
    by combining the initial letters and pronouncing them as a single word.
    Therefore, an initialism and an acronym are distinct from each other.

    5. Out of the following words, which is an acronym?

    A. Mr.

    B. Scuba

    C. Radar

    Correct Answer
    C. Radar

    Explanation
    Radar is the correct answer because it is an acronym. An acronym is a word
    formed from the initial letters or parts of a series of words, such as RADAR
    which stands for "Radio Detection and Ranging". Mr. and Scuba are not
    acronyms as they are not formed from the initial letters of a series of words.
