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).

Descriptive essay on lights out<br><br>​
vesna_86 [32]

Electricity today is a very important source of life. Almost all life activities depend on electricity. Power cuts or power outages cause some activities to stop. Power outages are caused by other electrical activities, of course, which have the same path. For example, the installation of several towers or power poles, time-consuming cable repairs. In addition, there are causes outside of electrical activity, namely the occurrence of fire disasters. To avoid things that are not desirable, of course, must be quick to respond to this by turning off electricity en masse. What can happen, of course, is that neither party benefits.
