    Some of our library's most popular books are journals, which are daily records of events taking place in people's lives. What's another word (a synonym) for journal?

    Explanation
    A synonym for journal is diary. Diaries and journals both refer to personal records or accounts of events, thoughts, and experiences. They are often used interchangeably to describe a book or document where individuals write about their daily lives and reflections. The word "diary" is commonly associated with personal writings, while "journal" can have a broader connotation and may also refer to academic or professional publications.

    When there is a book and a movie with the same title, which one was almost always created first?

    • Movie

    • Book

    Correct Answer
    A. Book
    Explanation
    In most cases, the book is almost always created first when there is a book and a movie with the same title. This is because the process of writing and publishing a book typically takes longer than producing a movie. Authors often spend months or even years crafting their stories, while movies require additional time for scriptwriting, casting, filming, and post-production. Therefore, it is common for filmmakers to adapt popular books into movies rather than the other way around.

    • Leave it on top of any table or counter so that library staff can return it to its proper location.

    Correct Answer
    A. Leave it on top of any table or counter so that library staff can return it to its proper location.
    Explanation
    Leaving the book on top of any table or counter allows the library staff to easily spot it and return it to its proper location. This ensures that the book will be placed back where it belongs, even if the person who took it off the shelf is not able to find the exact spot. It is a responsible action that helps maintain the organization and order of the library's collection.

    Correct Answer

    Fiction books are typically arranged by the author's last name. This is a common practice in libraries and bookstores as it allows for easy alphabetization and organization of the books. By arranging books in this way, it becomes simpler for readers to locate specific authors or find books by their favorite authors.

They can transport the reader to different worlds, stimulate the imagination, and offer a sense of companionship. In a situation where there may be limited resources and no other form of entertainment, books can provide endless hours of reading pleasure and intellectual stimulation. They can also serve as a valuable source of information and practical knowledge, helping the stranded individual to survive and possibly find a way off the island.
