Explanation:

A basic acronym is the shortened name that uses just the initials of the full name. Another example is NATO (North Atlantic Trade Organization). An acronym sentence is a sentence that helps a person remember the order of something. The first letter of each word in the sentence is the same as the first letter of the steps or names in order. An acronym abbreviation also stands for the order of something but it creates a word not a sentence.
