Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the research question that generated the passage, we analyze the options. Option A ("What is Caribbean Carnival?") is a broad question about the Carnival, which is likely the main topic of the passage. Option B focuses on calypso music, which is probably a sub - topic. Option C is about pre - Lent celebrations in general, not specific to the passage's likely focus. Option D is about Trinidad's celebration, which is more specific. So the most likely research question is about Caribbean Carnival.

Primary resources are original materials. Photographs are primary resources as they are direct, unfiltered evidence. Books (A), journals (B), and encyclopedias (C) are secondary resources as they are interpretations or compilations of information.

When developing a research question from paragraph 2 (assuming paragraph 2 is about islands holding Carnival at different times), option B ("What islands hold Carnival after Lent or during the summer?") is relevant. Option A is about calypso music, not related to the paragraph's likely content. Option C is about Carnival's origin, and option D is about past Carnival themes, which are less likely from a paragraph about when islands hold Carnival.

Answer:

A. What is Caribbean Carnival?
