Which of the following would be indexed first?

The correct choice, Alice A. Wilson, is indexed first because the convention for indexing names often follows a specific order: last name, first name, and then any middle initials.

In this case, all the names provided share the same last name "Wilson." To establish the indexing order, you would first look at the first name. "Alice" comes before "Allison" and "Anthony," and among those with the same first name "Alice," it has a middle initial "A" which also determines its place. The convention typically dictates that if there are multiple individuals with the same last name and first initial, then the second letter should be considered next.

Alice B. Wilson, although it also starts with "Alice," is indexed after Alice A. Wilson because "A" precedes "B" in alphabetical order. Therefore, Alice A. Wilson is prioritized in the indexing hierarchy due to the first name and middle initial combination, making it the correct answer. The other options do not follow this order as closely, resulting in them being indexed later.
