Discussion
Assertion (A) : "Name Authority File" should be used in a library.
Reason (R) : All works of an author should be collocated.
Answer: B
Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion, option B. A name authority file keeps one authorised form of each author's name, with references from variants, and so a library should use it. The reason gives the purpose: all the works of an author should be collocated, brought together at one place in the catalogue, and an authorised name is what makes this possible.
Without the authority file an author could appear under several forms of name and the works would be scattered. Options A and C call one statement false, and option D calls both false, so they are wrong.
