Correct Answer: 210
the dewey decimal classification (ddc) system is a widely used method for categorizing books in libraries. it organizes books into ten main classes, each of which is divided into ten secondary classes, and these in turn are divided into ten divisions. this creates a hierarchical structure that facilitates the location and retrieval of library materials based on subject matter.
in the dewey decimal system, the number 210 is designated for books on natural theology. natural theology is a branch of theology that seeks to understand the nature of the divine by relying on reason and ordinary experience without relying on revealed knowledge. it explores concepts like the existence of god, the nature of religion, and the relationship between the universe and the divine, often examining these issues through arguments and observations about the natural world.
the other numbers listed in the question represent different categories:
- 070 pertains to news media, journalism, and publishing. this class includes works on the various methods and forms of disseminating information and news to the public.
- 460 is designated for spanish and portuguese languages, covering grammar, instruction, and historical and etymological treatments specific to these languages.
- 630 is used for books on agriculture, encompassing topics such as crop and animal production, agricultural equipment, and farming techniques.
- 820 is designated for english and old english (anglo-saxon) literatures, which includes literary works, criticism, and analysis related to literature written in english and its historical development.
thus, for the specific subject of natural theology, the correct dewey decimal classification is 210.
