Synthesizing Sources — Quiz

Question 8 • English Language Arts 12

Which is a secondary source?

Answer
A
a photo of Apollo 11 landing on the moon
B
a 3D replica of the 1607 Jamestown settlement
C
an original sketch of the Wright brothers' airplane
D
a section of the Berlin Wall

Explanation

A secondary source is created later to represent or explain an event or place, rather than being an original item from the time. A 3D replica of the 1607 Jamestown settlement recreates the settlement, so it is a secondary source. The photo, original sketch, and piece of the Berlin Wall are primary sources from their respective times.
