    A ________ source is a document or physical object which was written or created during the time under study. 

    Explanation
    A primary source is a document or physical object that was created or written during the specific time period being studied. It provides firsthand information and evidence about the events, people, or phenomena of that time. Primary sources can include original manuscripts, letters, diaries, photographs, artifacts, and official records. These sources are considered reliable and valuable for researchers as they offer direct insight into the historical context and perspectives of the period being studied.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because a blog, including Tumblr, is not considered a primary source. A primary source is an original and firsthand account or evidence of an event, person, or topic. Blogs are typically considered secondary sources as they are interpretations or opinions of the author based on primary sources. Therefore, blogs, including Tumblr, cannot be used as primary sources.

    Correct Answer
    A. Wikipedia
    Explanation
    Wikipedia should not be used as a primary source because it is an open-source platform where anyone can edit and contribute information. Although it can be a useful starting point for research, it is not considered a reliable or authoritative source as the information can be inaccurate, biased, or outdated. It is always recommended to verify information from more reliable sources such as academic journals, books, or reputable news outlets.
