I could not name any principle upon which the books have been gathered. Books are almost as individual as friends. There is no earthly use in laying down general laws about them. Some meet the needs of one person, and some of another; and each person should beware of the booklover's besetting sin, of what Mr. Edgar Allan Poe calls "the mad pride of intellectuality," taking the shape of arrogant pity for the man who does not like the same kind of books.

After reading the passage, and by using context clues, we can choose the following meaning for the word "principle":

B. Standard ruling.

A context clue is a word or phrase an author uses to provide or indicate the meaning or another word or phrase.

The word "principle" has several meanings, but the speaker provides a context clue that reveals what it means in the sentence we are analyzing here.

The context clue is the phrase "general laws." It helps convey the idea that there is no principle, no general law, no standard ruling when it comes to books.

In other words, books are not standardized. They are unique and "meet the needs of one person, and some of another."

Having that in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option.

The following are the answer choices for this question:

A. Important reason

B. Standard ruling
