Question

true or false a secondary source is written by someone who took part in the events described

Answer 1

false

Answer 2

False. A primary source is written by someone who took part in the events described, such as a newspaper article from that time, an autobiography, or audio or video recordings. A secondary source would be biographies, research articles, or history books. These are written by people after the fact, who have done extensive research on primary sources to pen their research.
