What is the proper name for a place where old records such as files, diaries and letters are kept?

AArchives
BAntiquities
CMuseum
DLibrary
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Archives
1. Archives house important written information about the past — books, files, letters and diaries. 2. Academics and other interested people use them to read and reconstruct past events. 3. Antiquities are objects that have existed a very long time, such as remains of ancient buildings, mosques, churches and tombs. 4. A museum stores and exhibits objects of historical, scientific, artistic or cultural interest to the public. 5. A library holds books, films, records and music for use or borrowing by the public, which is a different purpose from preserving original records. _Source: NECTA CSEE 2022 Civics 011, Question 1: Multiple Choice, item (ii)_
