 Question 1

1. Choose the correct option from the list provided for each question.

1.1. _________ Is a list of words that can be used to retrieve information in an information
source.
A) Natural language
B) A thesaurus
C) An index
D) An abstract

An index is systematically created to guide users to the contents of a document or a collection of
documents, allowing for efficient retrieval of information based on keywords, subjects, or other
indexing terms.

1.2. Terms with the same spelling representing different concepts are known as:
A) Homonyms
B) Synonyms
C) Hierarchical
D) Non-hierarchical

Homonyms are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. For example, "cranes"
can refer to birds or lifting equipment.

1.3. In thesaurus construction, which of the following is NOT a narrower term (NT) for
“hospitals”
A) Public hospitals
B) Private hospitals
C) Psychiatric hospitals
D) Doctors

Narrower terms for "hospitals" would be specific types of hospitals, such as public hospitals, private
hospitals, and psychiatric hospitals. "Doctors" are not a type of hospital; they are professionals who
work in hospitals, making this term unrelated in the hierarchical sense used in thesaurus construction.

1.4. In searching databases, keywords can be used:
A) True
B) False

Keywords are essential for searching databases because they represent the main concepts and are used
to retrieve relevant information from the database.
