California Subject Examinations For Teachers (CSET) 1 MCS And CR Practice Test

Which feature helps a reader find specific information by listing topics in alphabetical order?

Table of contents Glossary Index Bibliography

Correct Answer:

Index

Explanation:

An index is designed for quick lookups. It lists topics and subtopics in alphabetical order and shows the pages where they appear, often with cross‑references. This lets you jump straight to the exact information you want without scanning the whole text. A table of contents maps the book’s structure in order of appearance, pointing you to chapters and sections rather than every topic by name. A glossary focuses on definitions of terms, usually in alphabetical order, but its purpose is to define terms, not guide you to where they’re discussed in the book. A bibliography lists sources used, not content locations within the work. So for finding specific information by topic in alphabetical order, the index is the go-to feature.
