Passage: "Not every document needs to be kept forever. Government offices follow records disposition schedules that state how long each type of record must be kept. Records with lasting value, such as land titles and civil registry documents, are kept permanently, while routine papers like visitor logs may be disposed of after a set period with proper approval. Keeping everything is not the safe choice it seems: crowded storage rooms make important files harder to find and more likely to be damaged by fire or flood." What is the main point of the passage?
Correct answer: A. Offices should follow schedules that say how long each type of record must be kept, because keeping everything has its own risks.
The passage explains records disposition schedules, gives examples of permanent and temporary records, and warns that keeping everything makes important files harder to find and protect.
