Hello. You didn't say which novel this question is referring to. This makes it impossible for this question to be answered, but I can help by showing you what a primary source is and showing you how to find it in the novel.
Primary source is a document that reports the events of a historic event. However, this document was created at the time that this event is taking place.
In this case, the novel you are studying to answer that question, will bring a primary source when showing a document about one of the historical events mentioned above, at the time when these events occur.
For you to understand better, imagine that you are reading a novel where one of the characters is a doctor and is reporting in a diary the operation of a hospital during the coronavirus pandemic. In this case, the doctor's diary is a primary source to which the novel is referencing.
The best definition of denotation would probably would be the dictionary meaning of a word.
Answer:
C) You should stress the first syllable because it is a noun that means a current moment or period in time.
Explanation:
The word "present" has different meanings that are revealed through the context and the pronunciation used. In the sentence "Present-day artists continue to be inspired by this river," the word present does not refer to a gift, to the person not being absent, or to the action of offering something. <u>When we talk of a present-day something or someone, we mean that thing or person exists now, in the current period of time - not in the past, not in the future. In that case, the pronunciation stresses the first syllable.</u> With that in mind, the best option is letter C) You should stress the first syllable because it is a noun that means a current moment or period in time.
