Which of the following is an example of a primary source?

A newspaper article about an event
A scientific journal article
An autobiography about a person's life
A review of a movie

The correct answer is: An autobiography about a person's life

Primary sources are firsthand accounts or original materials created by a person who directly witnessed or experienced an event. An autobiography is a written account of a person's own life and experiences. This makes it a primary source, as the information is coming directly from the individual themselves. In contrast, a newspaper article, scientific journal article, and movie review are all secondary sources, as they are based on information gathered from different sources and interpreted by the author, rather than being created firsthand.
