Question 7 • English Language Arts 12

Which describes a secondary source?

Answer
A
a reenactment of the American Revolution
B
a memoir written by a war survivor
C
a letter from George Washington to his troops
D
a diary entry by a nurse who helped wounded soldiers

Explanation

A secondary source interprets or recreates events using information from primary sources rather than providing a firsthand account. A reenactment of the American Revolution is a later recreation, so it is a secondary source. The memoir, letter, and diary are firsthand accounts by people connected to the events, making them primary sources.
