7. Given $a = \log _ { 5 } 2 , b = \log _ { 8 } 3 , c = \frac { 1 } { 2 }$, which of the following judgments is correct? ( )
A. $c < b < a$
B. $b < a < c$
C. $a < c < b$
D. $a < b < c$
【Answer】C 【Solution】 【Analysis】Use the monotonicity of logarithmic functions to compare the sizes of $a$, $b$, and $c$, and thus reach the conclusion. 【Detailed Solution】 $a = \log _ { 5 } 2 < \log _ { 5 } \sqrt { 5 } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } = \log _ { 8 } 2 \sqrt { 2 } < \log _ { 8 } 3 = b$, that is, $a < c < b$. Therefore, the answer is: C.
