Primary sources are created by someone who experienced events firsthand. Which term best describes such sources?

• A. Preamble
• B. Primary Sources
• C. Political Institutions
• D. Physical Environment

Answer: (B)

Primary sources are created by someone who experienced events firsthand, providing original, firsthand evidence from the time of the event. They give direct insight into what happened and how people thought or felt at the moment. Examples include diaries, letters, photographs, official records, newspapers published at the time, and artifacts. The other options don’t fit because a preamble is merely an opening part of a document, political institutions are structures of government, and the physical environment is the natural setting—not records or accounts of events. So the term that best describes such sources is primary sources.
