Researchers should generally avoid primary sources because truth can be lost when an idea has been interpreted by two or three p
Arlecino [84]

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

Primary sources always reflect the perspective of those who lived or witnessed a specific event; for example, letters written by a soldier in combat about the first world war are considered as a primary source. Therefore, a primary source is a first-hand account, not an interpreted source.

On the other hand, secondary and tertiary sources are those created by others using primary sources or secondary sources, this means they show the interpretation of others, and due to this, information might be inaccurate. This implies secondary and tertiary sources are those that had been interpreted, and therefore the statement is false because primary sources had not been interpreted; also, these are preferred by researches due to this reason.

"as Kenneth sat down on the rickety old chair, it abruptly collapsed beneath him" what kind if sentence is this
EastWind [94]

Answer:

It is a complex sentence.

Explanation:

There are  four basic types of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.

A complex sentence has one independent clause joined to a dependent clause by a subordinating conjunction.

An independent clause has a subject and a predicate, and can stand alone as a sentence, as it makes complete sense.  A dependent clause cannot stand alone.

In this case, "Kenneth sat down on the rickety old chair" is an example of an independent clause.  "as it abruptly collapsed beneath him" is a dependent clause.

How should this sentence be changed?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

C. Add a period after fossil

Explanation:

The reader can easily deduce that this is a run-on sentence.

"Look at this fossil," Is a full stop on itself, and the thought can end there.

The next phrase can be continued in a separate sentence by itself.

Many people seem to be confused as to why the answer isn't B, and I'll gladly explain why!

The sentence goes, "Look at this fossil I bought it at the gift shop.."

"It," causes the sentence to become a run-on, and therefore isn't grammatically correct.

However, if the sentence said, "Look at this fossil I bought at the gift shop," then it would have no need to be changed, as it is a full sentence in itself with no run-on.

Another thing to note is that some of you may be thinking, "But (insert grammar checker) said it was fine by itself!"

I'm sorry to break it to you, <em>but a grammar checker doesn't have 100% guaranteed results. </em>Many grammar checkers do not possess the ability to catch run-on sentences and are not a credible source of information.

I hope this clears things up!

Umnica [9.8K]

This question is about "The Curious incident of the dog in the nighttime."

Answer:

He presents himself that way because he is autistic.

Explanation:

Christopher is bullish and for that reason, we can conclude that his mind does not work like the mind of people who do not have this mental disorder. Like some bulls, Christopher has a very good memory and usually recalls very detailed things from elements to which he has a certain fascination. This fascination makes him present himself along with the things that are important to him, such as knowing the names of all countries and their capitals, as well as knowing all prime numbers up to 7.057.
