Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, besides the meaning of a certain word, dictionaries shows extra information regarding an unknown word. For instance unrelated words with identical spellings, variations, pronunciation, and syllabication.

Specifically for this last, syllabication, dictionaries use boldface ( thick or heavy lines printing type) and dots to divide a certain entry word into syllables.

Bearing the above in mind, it could be said that the statement " The boldface entry word in a dictionary indicates syllable divisions" is true.
