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.
