which of the following would be considered a secondary source? *

- For the first question: Studying history requires multiple perspectives and sources, not just one. So the statement "It teaches us to analyze information, only needing one perspective or trustworthy source" is false.
- For the second question: A primary source is directly from the time period. A secondary source interprets or analyzes primary sources. A third - person source is not a standard term in historical sources. So an object or document directly from the time period is a primary source.
- For the third question: Pottery from ancient Mayan ruins is a primary source (direct artifact). A photograph showing the tearing down of the Berlin Wall is a primary source (direct record). A scholarly research journal on the Black Death analyzes and interprets primary sources (like records from the time of the Black Death), so it is a secondary source.
