Which title indicates that the text is a secondary source?

Answer
A

Napoleon's Letters to Josephine, 1796-1812, by Emperor of the French Napoleon I
C
The American Diary of a Japanese Girl , by Yoné Noguchi
D

Explanation

A secondary source describes or analyzes information from primary sources rather than presenting an original firsthand account. Sir Lawrence Weaver’s “Sir Christopher Wren: Scientist, Scholar and Architect” is a biography, so it is a secondary source. The other titles are letters, a diary, or memoirs by the people who created them, making them primary sources.
