The statement below is followed by four options. Each option is related to the item in the statement, but only one is always true. Select the option that always holds and makes the statement true.
"A book always has ______."
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Pages
The answer must hold for every book, without exception. An option that is present in most cases but can be missing in even one case is not always true.
Option (1) Pages — a book is made of pages bound together, so every book has pages; this is always true.
Option (2) Contents — a contents list is missing in many small books, such as picture books and diaries.
Option (3) Chapters — a dictionary, a poem collection or a notebook has no chapters.
Option (4) Story — textbooks, dictionaries and atlases do not tell a story.
