6. What is the difference between primary and secondary sources?

*
1 point
A primary source comes directly from a person that saw an event while a secondary source comes from a person who was not there.
A primary source is the first source you find and a secondary source is the second source you find.
A primary source must be written and a secondary source must be a recording.
There is no difference.

A primary source comes directly from a person or entity that witnessed or participated in an event, while a secondary source is created by someone who did not witness or participate in the event, and instead relied on primary sources, other secondary sources, or their own analysis or interpretation.
