which item is an example of a secondary source?

a. a letter from abraham lincoln
b. a government document from abraham lincolns presidency
c. a biography of abraham lincoln
d. a transcript of a speech by abraham lincoln

Explanation:

Primary sources are direct, firsthand records from the time/context (e.g., Lincoln’s letter, his presidency’s government document, his speech transcript). A biography is a secondary source because it interprets and analyzes primary sources about Lincoln rather than being a firsthand account.

Answer:

C. A biography of Abraham Lincoln
