The correct answers are A. Primary source and E. Diary entry
Explanation:
In general terms, sources can be classified as primary if they are first-account of an event, which means they were written during the event or shortly after it by someone who experienced or witness the event or as secondary sources if they summarize or analyze a primary source. This means in the source presented in which someone describes the way he or she experienced the bombing of Pearl Harbor this source can be classified as a Primary Source.
On the other hand, sources can be classified according to the type of source they are which includes recordings, photographs, articles, diary entry, etc. In the case of diary entry, these are personal texts people write about their experiences, feelings, and thoughts and because of this they are usually written using the pronoun "I", this is also the case of the source presented as the Pearl Habor attack is being described using "I" and including the perceptions, feelings, and actions of its author. Therefore, the two descriptions that fit with this source are primary source and diary entry.
