Answer 1

The boldfaced words in each scenario are secondary sources of information.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first scenario, the boldfaced word 'reporters' is a secondary source. The reporter is relaying information about a movie to Mimi.

In the second scenario, the boldfaced word 'dress' is a secondary source. The father is providing information about the dress.

In the third scenario, the boldfaced word 'magazines' is a secondary source. The magazines contain stories about famous people in movies.
