B. Medicine, Thank you for the help

You're welcome.

Just took the test and it actually was C. reference book

Your school program is in error. R is medical. The links we posted are from the Library of Congress. However, if the education program you are using for "school" says it's "reference", then that will be the only "correct" answer, even if the program is incorrect. Sorry 'bout that.

Then the school must be using the Dewey Decimal System.

If you had told us that in the first place, we could have sent you the correct link!

It might be a book about medicine, but dont take my word for it! I dont know for sure. This one is pretty hard!

Based on the call number R865.2, here's how you can interpret the information:

A. It's a book of or about Roman literature.
To determine if the book is related to Roman literature, we can look at the first part of the call number, which is "R." However, "R" actually refers to medicine, not Roman literature. Therefore, this option is not correct.

B. It's a book about medicine.
The call number "R865.2" does indeed signify a book related to medicine. The letter "R" indicates that the book is categorized under medicine. So, this option is correct.

C. It's a reference book.
While the letter "R" does commonly stand for reference books, it also represents medicine in this specific call number. Therefore, it is not only a reference book, but specifically a book about medicine. This option is incorrect.

D. It's a book that can be gained through interlibrary loan.
The call number "R865.2" does not provide any information about how the book can be obtained. Interlibrary loan availability is not indicated in the call number itself. Therefore, this option cannot be determined based on the given call number.

To summarize, based on the call number R865.2:
- The book is related to medicine (option B).
- It is not about Roman literature (option A).
- It does not specifically indicate that it is a reference book (option C).
- It does not provide information about how it can be obtained through interlibrary loan (option D).
