Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary sources are first-hand accounts of a time period or event. They were created by people that were actually there during that time period or event. They allow researchers to get as close as possible to what actually happened during a event or time period.

Common examples include photographs, diaries, and autobiographies

Secondary sources are created by people who did not experience a time or event first-hand. They were created later by people who weren’t actually there when the event or time took place. They comment on, summarize, and analyze information found in primary sources.

Common examples include encyclopedias, articles, and biographies.

Answer:

A. A photograph of Franklin D. Roosevelt celebrating his election
