Answer 1

The most appropriate algorithm to use for locating a title within a sorted list of book titles is binary search.

Binary search efficiently finds an item in a sorted list by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half, allowing it to locate the desired element much faster than a linear search, especially in large datasets.
