An analysis or restatement of primary sources written after the events by people not present.

• A. Secondary source
• B. Primary source
• C. Thesis
• D. Evidence

Answer: (A)

Think about sources by time and experience. When someone writes about an event after it happened and did not personally witness it, they’re interpreting and restating information from original materials. That kind of work is a secondary source: it analyzes or summarizes primary materials like diaries, letters, official records, or newspapers from the period, but the writer wasn’t there themselves.

A primary source would be something created by someone who actually witnessed or participated in the event, such as a diary or a letter from a person who was present, or an official document produced at the time. A thesis is an argument or main claim, not a type of source. Evidence refers to the specific data or facts used to support a claim, not the source category itself.

So the description fits a secondary source best, since it involves analysis written after the events by someone not present.
