............... and ............. are sources of geographical information.

(i) Gazetteer
(ii) Gazette
(iii) Atlas
(iv) Indexes and abstracts

  • A.(i) and (ii) are correct
  • B.(i) and (iii) are correct
  • C.(ii) and (iii) are correct
  • D.(iii) and (iv) are correct

Answer: B

The answer is (i) and (iii) are correct: the gazetteer and the atlas.

A gazetteer is a geographical dictionary giving the location and description of places, and an atlas is a bound collection of maps. Both are the standard geographical sources in a reference collection.

A gazette is an official government publication of notifications and orders, despite the similar spelling, and indexes and abstracts are general bibliographic tools, not geographical sources. Options naming (ii) or (iv) are therefore wrong.
