Question

A speech, document, or other artifact that was written, created, or recorded during the time period to the topic you are exploring and researching is a ______________ source.

Answer 1

Primary

A primary source is one that is a first-hand account of an event. It can take the form of a speech, document, interview, journal entry, letter, home video that was written, created, or recorded. Primary sources are considered the most reliable sources for explaining what happened in an event. The further the person is from the event, the less reliable they are at giving an accurate portrayal. Secondary sources are often used in research as well, but they are not as reliable as primary sources.

Answer 2

Man.... I know this, I learned it last year.... PRIMARY yeah its primary. A primary resource, isn't a website or anything, its something that is a reliable and definite source.
