Question

1. what is a primary source?

• firsthand information
• information that has been reported in a quality newspaper
• a personal opinion
• a source that is more reputable than others

Explanation:

A primary source is defined as firsthand information or evidence created during the time period being studied, or by a person directly involved in an event. "Information reported in a quality newspaper" is a secondary source (as it's a report of others' work). "A personal opinion" is subjective and not a primary source by definition. "A source more reputable than others" refers to reliability, not the primary - source concept. So the correct option is the one with "firsthand information".

Answer:

A. firsthand information
