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. Witness testimony at a trial is a primary - source type of evidence that can directly support a claim about a historical event. Secondary sources like song lyrics are interpretations. Artifacts are physical remains but don't summarize information in the way that directly supports a claim as primary - source testimony does. Statistics are not typically used to support historical claims in terms of emotional focus as stated.

Answer:

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