Question 19 • Language Arts 9

Nina is conducting research about former president Bill Clinton. Which sources on her list are primary sources? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
an interview with one of Clinton’s friends
B
an excerpt from Clinton’s autobiography
C
a magazine interview with Clinton
D
a book that analyzed Clinton’s policies
E
text from Clinton’s first inaugural speech

Explanation

Primary sources come directly from the person being studied or from the time of the events. Clinton’s autobiography and a magazine interview with Clinton are firsthand accounts, and the text of his inaugural speech is a document he delivered. An interview with his friend and a book analyzing his policies are secondary sources because they offer another person’s account or interpretation.
