The correct answers are B. An excerpt from a poem by Maya Angelou and E. A quote from Maya Angelou’s autobiography

Explanation:

A primary source differs from a secondary source or other types of source because primary sources are first- accounts of the events, this means if the event that is going to be study is Maya Angelou's poetry the sources that work as first account of this topic are the sources written or created by Maya Angelou in relation to her poems this includes Maya Angelou words or literary works, while the works created by other people using the first sources are classified as second sources. Considering this, the sources that can be classified as primary sources, in this case, are "An excerpt from a poem by Maya Angelou" and "A quote from Maya Angelou’s autobiography" because these sources were written or created by Maya herself and therefore are first-account sources of her poetry.
