Question 1:

Options:
A. author
B. illustrator
C. title
D. glossary

✔ Correct Answer: D. glossary

Explanation:
The front cover of a book typically includes:
- The title (name of the book)
- The author (writer)
- The illustrator (if applicable)

However, a glossary is not found on the front cover. A glossary is usually located at the back of the book and contains definitions of difficult words. So, it is the exception.
