Question

1.1.3 quiz: reading historical evidence in u.s. history
question 3 of 10
which of the following is an example of a secondary source?
a. a photograph of a family setting up a farm in the 18th century
b. a journal entry written by a soldier in the civil war
c. a recording of a song sung by soldiers in world war ii

Explanation:

Wait, the options seem incomplete? But generally, secondary sources are interpretations or analyses of primary sources. Primary sources are direct, contemporary accounts (like photos, journal entries, recordings from the time). But since the given options A, B, C are primary (photo of 18th - century farm, Civil War soldier's journal, WWII soldiers' song recording), maybe there's a missing option? Wait, maybe a typo. But if we assume one of these is mis - categorized, but actually, primary sources are first - hand. Wait, perhaps the original question had another option. But given the current options, maybe there's an error. But if we have to choose from these, but actually, all A, B, C are primary. Wait, maybe the user missed an option. For example, a textbook chapter about the Civil War (which would be secondary). But with the given options, there's a problem. But maybe it's a mistake. Alternatively, maybe I misread. Wait, the question is about U.S. history secondary source. Primary sources are created at the time of the event by participants or witnesses. Secondary sources are created later, analyzing or interpreting primary sources. So A: photo (primary, 18th - century, first - hand), B: journal (primary, Civil War soldier, first - hand), C: recording (primary, WWII soldiers, first - hand). So there's no secondary source here. But maybe the options are incomplete.

Answer:

(Note: The provided options all represent primary sources. If there was a missing option like "A history textbook chapter analyzing the Civil War", that would be secondary. But with the given options, there's an error. However, if we assume a typo and one of these is mis - presented, but as per the current options, none are secondary. But perhaps the original question had a different set of options.)
