Question 8 • FL-2109010-M/J World History A - Teacher Directed Resource

Which is an example of a secondary source?

Answer
A
a newspaper from the day of the event.
B
a documentary created by people who did not observe the event.
C
a journal entry created by someone who observed the event.
D
a letter written by someone who observed the event.

Explanation

A secondary source is created by someone who did not directly witness the event and interprets or reports on it later. A documentary made by people who did not observe the event is therefore a secondary source. The newspaper, journal entry, and letter were produced at the time or by witnesses, so they are primary sources.
