question 9 of 10
historical sources are most likely valid if they:

a. describe popular opinions.

b. are based on accurate facts.

c. can be found in textbooks.

d. are produced by the government.

Explanation:

To determine the validity of historical sources, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Popular opinions can be biased or inaccurate, so describing them doesn't ensure validity.
• Option B: Historical sources based on accurate facts are reliable as they reflect real - world events or information.
• Option C: Just because a source is in a textbook doesn't mean it's valid. Textbooks can have errors or include less - than - valid sources.
• Option D: Government - produced sources can be biased (e.g., for propaganda purposes) and not all are valid.

Answer:

B. are based on accurate facts.
