What is the purpose of a title page?

• A. States author, title, publisher, illustrator
• B. States chapters and their page numbers
• C. Tells where to find the information
• D. Tells the definition of some of the words found in a text

Answer: (A)

The purpose of a title page is to identify the work and credit its creators. It lists the title, author, publisher, and often the illustrator, and may include the publication year or edition. This quick identification helps readers, librarians, and researchers recognize the book and cite it accurately. It isn’t about showing where to find information inside the book (that’s what the table of contents or index does) or about defining words (that’s what a glossary covers).
