Question

which statement best shows how evidence related to historical events can support a claim?
secondary sources can include song lyrics written by people to communicate their experiences.
artifacts can summarize a large amount of information about a past time period.
primary sources can include the exact words that witnesses used to testify at a trial.
statistics can allow readers to focus on emotions rather than details about a past occurrence.

Explanation:

Primary sources are firsthand accounts from the time of an event. Testimony words from witnesses at a trial are primary - source evidence and directly support claims about historical events. Secondary sources like song lyrics are interpretations. Artifacts are physical remains but don't always summarize large amounts of info in a claim - supporting way. Statistics are not about emotions but about data and are not the best for supporting historical claims compared to primary sources.

Answer:

Primary sources can include the exact words that witnesses used to testify at a trial.
