question 10 of 21
which of the following is the best definition for primary source?
a. a piece of evidence that does not have any prejudice or bias
b. a piece of evidence created at the time of a historical event
c. a piece of evidence created long after a historical event
d. a piece of evidence that has been reviewed by an expert

Explanation:

A primary source is a firsthand, contemporary record of an event, created during or very close to the time the event occurred. Option A is incorrect because primary sources can still have bias. Option C describes a secondary source, which is made after the event. Option D is not a defining feature of primary sources, as expert review is not required for a source to be primary.

Answer:

B. A piece of evidence created at the time of a historical event
