### 5.
# Brief Explanations:
To find the shortest chapter, we calculate the page range for each chapter.
- Chapter 1: 8 - 1 = 7 pages (assuming page 1 is the start, but actually from page 1 to 8, it's 8 - 1 = 7? Wait, no, the first chapter starts at 1, next at 8. So Chapter 1: 8 - 1 = 7? Wait, no, page numbers: Chapter 1 is on page 1, next chapter starts at 8, so Chapter 1 has 8 - 1 = 7 pages? Wait, no, maybe the number of pages is (next chapter's start page - current chapter's start page). Let's calculate:
Chapter 1: 8 - 1 = 7 pages
Chapter 2: 13 - 8 = 5 pages
Chapter 3: 21 - 13 = 8 pages
Chapter 4: 32 - 21 = 11 pages
Chapter 5: 38 - 32 = 6 pages
Chapter 6: 47 - 38 = 9 pages
Chapter 7: 58 - 47 = 11 pages
Chapter 8: 69 - 58 = 11 pages
Glossary: 74 - 69 = 5 pages? Wait, no, the Glossary starts after Chapter 8 (page 69), and Index after Glossary. Wait, the Glossary is on page 74? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re - calculate:
Chapter 1: From page 1 to 8, so 8 - 1+1 = 8 pages? Wait, no, the first chapter is listed as page 1, next chapter starts at 8. So the number of pages for Chapter 1 is 8 - 1 = 7 (if we consider page 1 as the first page of the chapter, and page 8 is the last page of the chapter, so 8 - 1 = 7? Or 8 - 1+1 = 8? This is a bit confusing. But looking at the numbers:
Chapter 2 starts at 8, Chapter 1 ends at 7? No, the table of contents shows Chapter 1 on page 1, Chapter 2 on page 8. So the number of pages for Chapter 1 is 8 - 1 = 7 (pages 1 - 7? No, page 8 is the start of Chapter 2, so Chapter 1 is pages 1 - 7? Wait, maybe the correct way is to take the end page minus the start page. Let's list start and end pages:
Chapter 1: Start = 1, End = 7 (since Chapter 2 starts at 8)
Chapter 2: Start = 8, End = 12 (Chapter 3 starts at 13)
Chapter 3: Start = 13, End = 20 (Chapter 4 starts at 21)
Chapter 4: Start = 21, End = 31 (Chapter 5 starts at 32)
Chapter 5: Start = 32, End = 37 (Chapter 6 starts at 38)
Chapter 6: Start = 38, End = 46 (Chapter 7 starts at 47)
Chapter 7: Start = 47, End = 57 (Chapter 8 starts at 58)
Chapter 8: Start = 58, End = 68 (Glossary starts at 69)
Glossary: Start = 69, End = 73 (Index starts at 74)
Index: Start = 74, End =? (not given)

Now calculate the number of pages for each chapter:
Chapter 1: 7 - 1+1 = 7 pages (inclusive)
Chapter 2: 12 - 8+1 = 5 pages
Chapter 3: 20 - 13+1 = 8 pages
Chapter 4: 31 - 21+1 = 11 pages
Chapter 5: 37 - 32+1 = 6 pages
Chapter 6: 46 - 38+1 = 9 pages
Chapter 7: 57 - 47+1 = 11 pages
Chapter 8: 68 - 58+1 = 11 pages

So Chapter 2 has 5 pages, which is the shortest among the chapters (Glossary is not a chapter). Wait, but earlier calculation was wrong. So the shortest chapter is Chapter 2? Wait, no, Chapter 2: 13 - 8 = 5 (if we don't count the start page). Wait, maybe the problem considers the number of pages as (end page - start page). So Chapter 2: 13 - 8 = 5, Chapter 1: 8 - 1 = 7, Chapter 5: 38 - 32 = 6. So Chapter 2 has 5 pages, which is the shortest.
