Answer
A
a copy of the Treaty of Versailles
B
a documentary about the American Civil War
C
an encyclopedia entry about the Spanish-American War
D
a government chart showing official census data from 1920
E
a televised interview with a survivor of the sinking of the Titanic

Explanation

Secondary sources interpret, summarize, or analyze information from the past rather than presenting direct evidence from the event. A documentary about the Civil War and an encyclopedia entry about the Spanish-American War both present information compiled after those events. A copy of the Treaty, the original census data, and an interview with a Titanic survivor are primary sources because they provide direct evidence from the time or from someone who experienced it.
