• A. Explanatory note
• B. Vertical file
• C. Video-recording
• D. Subject heading

Answer: (B)

Vertical file collections are where libraries store pamphlets, newspaper clippings, illustrations, and similar ephemeral materials in specialized containers. These items are kept in filing cabinets with folders labeled by subject, making it easy to pull related items for quick reference or local-history research. It’s different from a subject heading, which is a cataloging tag used to describe the topics of a resource; an explanatory note, which is a brief comment attached to a record; and a video-recording, which is a type of media. So the collection of such materials kept in containers is a vertical file.
