Discussion
Which is the correct sequence of the national libraries in the order of their year of establishment ?
(i) British Library (formerly British Museum Library)
(ii) Library of Congress (Washington D.C.)
(iii) Lenin Library (Moscow)
(iv) Bibliotheque Nationale (Paris)
Answer: A
The key gives the order British Library, Library of Congress, Lenin Library and Bibliotheque Nationale, so the answer is (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), option A.
The British Museum Library, now part of the British Library, dates from 1753. The Library of Congress was established in 1800, and the Lenin Library in Moscow, which began as the Rumyantsev Museum library, dates from 1862. The key places the Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris last, in the form in which it is counted as a national library.
The other sequences put the Lenin Library or the Library of Congress before the British Museum Library, which is out of order. The order of the Paris library follows the official key.
