Question

question 2 of 10
a secondary source is a historical source that:

a. was created in the time period being studied.

b. was recently recovered by historians.

c. was created after the event being studied.

d. was supported by multiple other sources.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the definition of a secondary source in history. A secondary source is one that interprets or analyzes primary sources (which are from the time period of the event). Option A describes a primary source. Option B is incorrect as recovery time doesn't define secondary sources. Option D is about corroboration, not the definition of a secondary source. Option C correctly states that secondary sources are created after the event they study, as they often analyze or summarize primary sources from the event's time.

Answer:

C. was created after the event being studied.
