Synthesizing Sources

Question 3 • OK-English Language Arts 12 A1 – EDGNTY-83861 26-27

Which describes a secondary source?

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

Explanation

A secondary source describes or interprets past events rather than coming directly from someone who experienced them. A reenactment of the American Revolution recreates events later, so it is a secondary source. The memoir, letter, and diary are firsthand accounts and therefore primary sources.
