What is one advantage a primary source has over a secondary source? a. a primary source is written after the fact. b. a primary source combines several different accounts of an event. c. a primary source is generally unbiased. d. a primary source is typically free of outside interpretation.

The correct answer is: D. A primary source is typically free of outside interpretation.

To understand the answer, let's first clarify what a primary source is. A primary source can be defined as documents or information that provide a first-hand account or first-hand evidence of a particular matter. In the other words, the information comes from the source itself.

An example of a primary source would be an autobiography of say, Steve Jobs. An autobiography is a considered a primary source, because it provides us with first-hand information from the source itself- in this instance, from Steve Jobs directly. The information in the autobiography is furthermore free of outside interpretation. On the other hand, an observer's interpretation of Steve Jobs' achievements are considered a secondary source, and the information from the observer is not free of outside interpretation.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
