Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The advantage of looking at books in a school library is that the librarians and faculty have determined those books are worthy of being in the library's collection. The disadvantage is that libraries rarely have the newest books since it often takes a long time for a library to acquire a book.
