Which term is an alphabetical list of topics or terms with page references for quick access?

• A. Index
• B. Context Clues
• C. Full-Text
• D. Research Journal

Answer: (A)

An index is an alphabetical list of topics or terms with page references that helps you find information quickly. It’s usually placed at the back of a book and lets you look up a topic and see all the pages where it’s discussed, often including subtopics and cross-references. This makes it different from other navigational tools: a table of contents lists chapters in order, not every topic, and doesn’t allow quick lookups by topic. Context clues are about figuring out a word’s meaning from surrounding text, not locating topics, and full-text refers to having access to the entire text rather than a structured, alphabetized guide. A research journal is a publication format, not a navigational tool inside a book. So, the term that fits is index.
