• B. (A), (B), (C), (D)
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C)
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A)

Hint:

The CC facet formula for literature follows a logical "Wall-Picture" principle, moving from the general to the specific: from the broad Language, to the type of Form, to the specific Author, and finally to the individual Work.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the Facet Formula for Literature (O) in Colon Classification. The facet formula for the main class 'O' Literature is O[P], [P2], [P3], [P4]. Each [P] represents a facet.

Step 2: Identify what each facet represents in the 6th edition of CC. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{[P] (Personality, Level 1): Corresponds to the (A) Language of the literature.} \\ \bullet & \text{[P2] (Personality, Level 2): Corresponds to the literary (B) Form (e.g., poetry, drama, fiction).} \\ \bullet & \text{[P3] (Personality, Level 3): Corresponds to the (D) Author.} \\ \bullet & \text{[P4] (Personality, Level 4): Corresponds to the (C) Work (i.e., the specific title).} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 3: Arrange the facets according to the formula. The correct sequence is Language, Form, Author, Work. This corresponds to the letters (A), (B), (D), (C).
