A
a textbook passage about a queen’s reign
B
a presidential candidate’s tax records
C
a web article about a World War I soldier
D
a biography of a general

Explanation

A primary source is a firsthand record or piece of evidence from the time or person being studied. A presidential candidate’s tax records are original documents that provide direct evidence about that candidate. The web article, biography, and textbook passage are secondary sources because they describe or interpret events and people.
