Question

hi, im rashid. i served in the peace corps as an information and communication technology volunteer in the southern african nation of namibia.
namibia is a big country geographically, but in terms of population, its very, very small. to put it in perspective, it has about one - fifth as many people as new jersey, but its 40 times larger. and, unlike new jersey, its very dry, and there are a lot of goats - a lot of goats.
one day, i was sitting in my house, in namibia, reading a u.s. newspaper on my cell phone.
oh, i should backtrack for a minute here. yes, africa has cell phones. in fact, every peace corps volunteer in namibia has a cell phone, as well as every adult namibian i knew, and most teenagers. cell phone coverage reaches every major town in namibia, and most of the minor ones, as well - even small villages.
and this isnt only namibia. cell phones are everywhere
which key sentence from the passage identifies this text as a primary source?
○ \i served in the peace corps as an information and communication technology volunteer in the southern african nation of namibia.\
○ \in fact, every peace corps volunteer in namibia has a cell phone, as well as every adult namibian i knew, and most teenagers.\
○ \cell phone coverage reaches every major town in namibia, and most of the minor ones, as well - even small villages.\
○ \for $10 u.s. dollars you can walk into a shop in namibia, and walk out with a cell phone - not a very nice one, mind you, but a fully functional.\

Explanation:

A primary source is a first-hand account from someone who experienced or participated in the event/topic. The sentence in option A is Rashid's direct statement of his own role and experience in Namibia, which is a first-hand, personal account—defining it as a primary source. The other options describe observations or facts about Namibia but do not identify the text as a primary source through a first-hand declaration of the author's involvement.

Answer:

"A. I served in the Peace Corps as an Information and Communication Technology Volunteer in the southern African nation of Namibia."
