To determine the correct order of the Library of Congress call numbers or Dewey Decimal call numbers, you need to understand how these call numbers are structured.
1. Library of Congress Call Numbers:
The Library of Congress call numbers consist of a combination of letters and numbers that represent the subject classification of a book. The letters generally indicate the topic or subject area, while the numbers represent further subdivisions within that topic.
2. Dewey Decimal Call Numbers:
The Dewey Decimal call numbers are based on the Dewey Decimal Classification system, which organizes books into ten main subject categories. Each category is assigned a unique three-digit number, and further subdivisions are denoted by additional digits.
To determine the correct order of the call numbers in the given sets, you need to compare the numbers and letters in each call number from left to right, starting with the first element.
Let's analyze each set of call numbers:
1. The correct order for the Library of Congress call numbers in set A is: PH202 .H255 1965, PA203 .B252 1971, PE205 .C253 1954, P201 .A251 1977.
Explanation: In the Library of Congress call number system, the first element is sorted alphabetically, followed by numerical sorting within each set of the same initial letters. In this case, PH202 comes before PA203, which in turn comes before PE205, and finally, P201.
2. The correct order for the Library of Congress call numbers in set B is: PE205 .C253 1954, PH202 .H255 1965, PA203 .B252 1971, P201 .A251 1977.
Explanation: Similar to the previous explanation, we sort the call numbers alphabetically and then numerically. In this case, PE205 comes before PH202, which is followed by PA203, and finally, P201.
3. The correct order for the Dewey Decimal call numbers in set A is: 813.54 C780B, 813.54 C781D, 813.54 C78A, 813.54 C782A.
Explanation: In the Dewey Decimal system, the numbers are sorted numerically, and the letters are sorted alphabetically. In this case, the numerical order is C780B, C781D, C78A, C782A.
4. A strong search strategy for a search engine would include: A. Using quotation marks, hyphens, and unique words.
Explanation: Quotation marks are useful for searching exact phrases, hyphens can be used for combining words, and using unique words helps narrow down the search results. Option A provides the most comprehensive strategy.
5. The correct order for the Dewey Decimal call numbers in set C is: 004.15 KWA, 010.1 ABR, 100.01 PRO, 100.1 BLU.
Explanation: Again, we sort the Dewey Decimal call numbers numerically and alphabetically. In this case, the numerical order is 004.15, 010.1, 100.01, 100.1, and then we sort them alphabetically: KWA, ABR, PRO, BLU.
Therefore, the correct answers are:
1. B
2. B
3. A
4. A
5. C
