Answer 2

Answer: B. check to see that it is supported by historical evidence.

Explanation:

Accounts of history emerge from historical evidence.

Primary sources are the most important kinds of historical evidence (original documents, artifacts, or other sources of data produced at the time under examination). Primary sources are better valued than secondary sources. Secondary sources usually mean an examination of primary sources, like books or publications. Oral tradition offers unwritten stories, passed on verbally by an eyewitness to succeeding generations.
