Question 9 • OK-English Language Arts 12 A1 – EDGNTY-83861 26-27

Which describes a primary source?

Answer
A
an eyewitness account of a forest fire
B
a commentary on a political candidate
C
a true story about a heroic forest ranger
D
an article evaluating a presidential nominee

Explanation

A primary source comes directly from someone who witnessed or experienced an event. An eyewitness account of a forest fire is firsthand evidence, so choice A is correct. The other choices describe commentary, a story, or an evaluation, which interpret or retell information rather than directly record the event.
