Answer:

secondary source

Explanation:

An encyclopedia entry about the Battle of Gettysburg is considered a secondary source of information.

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turning point.

An encyclopedia is considered a secondary and even tertiary source. It is secondary because it does not include first-hand account of the (historical) events, and it is considered tertiary because it mostly quotes/cites other secondary sources such as journals, newspaper articles, books etc.

A primary source consists of only first-hand accounts of the experiences and events.

A secondary source consists of analyses, critical essays about first-hand accounts (primary sources).

Edgar Guest is an American poet, famous for his optimistic tone. He was also called People's Poet.

A hero is defined as someone who is valuable or appreciated by his achievements or good qualities or by his courage.

In the third option, the speaker contrasts two different groups: first one is described in line 3 of the excerpt ("Are you one...?") and the characteristics of the other group are defined in the other lines (The things that...) and the final line adds emphasis by asking a direct question. The semantic field is also related in the statement and in the excerpt (uncharted, new discoveries, path and undone things, lead, way), making the third option the right answer.
