NATO

Acronym Identification Example

An acronym is a type of word formation where an abbreviation is created from the initial letters of a phrase and is pronounced as a single word.

Let's analyze the options:

  • NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is pronounced as a word ("Nay-toe"). This fits the definition of an acronym.
  • WHO (World Health Organization) is pronounced letter by letter ("W-H-O"). This is technically an initialism.
  • WTO (World Trade Organization) is pronounced letter by letter ("W-T-O"). This is also an initialism.
  • HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is pronounced letter by letter ("H-I-V"). This is another initialism.

Therefore, NATO is the clear example of an acronym among the choices provided, based on its pronunciation as a word.
