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.

Step-by-step 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! :)
