    The index is a text feature that tells you the page numbers for important topics in the book.

    Which text feature tells you the titles of chapters?

    • Table of contents

    • Glossary

    • Index

    Correct Answer
    A. Table of contents
    Explanation
    The table of contents is a text feature that provides a list of the titles of chapters or sections in a book. It helps readers navigate through the book and locate specific information by providing an overview of the organization and structure of the content. Unlike the glossary, which provides definitions of key terms, or the index, which lists specific topics and their corresponding page numbers, the table of contents specifically focuses on the chapter titles.
