Answer: The following statement is true: Acronyms do not use periods.

What are Acronyms?

Acronyms are abbreviations formed from the first letters of a multi-word name or phrase. They are written without periods between the letters. For example, NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration, but it is written as NASA without periods.

The other statements are incorrect:

- A semicolon is used to join two independent clauses that are closely related in thought, not to introduce a list or items in a series.

- Book titles are either underlined or italicized, not surrounded by quotation marks.

- An ellipsis is used to indicate the omission of words in a quote or to create suspense in writing, but it is not used before an exclamation point in an interjection.
