Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotation marks are one of the most commonly employed punctuation signs that are employed with an aim either to emphasize or to signify that a quote(sentence or phrase) that has been taken from some other source.

The given example doesn't employ the quotation marks correctly as it includes the period(".") outside the quotation marks which is incorrect by the rules as the rules say that the periods or comas must be included inside the quotation marks. Thus, the statement would be considered as false.
