Which work would be classified under 900 History, Biography?

• A. Ernst. Words: English roots and how they grow
• B. Faulkner. From Versailles to the new deal
• C. Fry. Chinese art
• D. Kant. Critique of Pure Reason

Answer: (B)

History-focused works in the 900s cover broad events, eras, and places. A book that traces major historical developments—from Versailles to the New Deal—reads as a historical survey rather than a study of language, art, or philosophy. The other titles address language origins, Chinese art, or philosophical theory, which belong to other subject areas. So the historical narrative about a span of history is the best fit for the 900 History category.
