Which is a primary source?
a. a journal entry from a young bride traveling west
b. an article in a current encyclopedia
c. data on weather and climate
d. a book about the people of ancient china

The correct answer is A. A journal entry from a young bride traveling west

Explanation:

Primary sources different from secondary sources are sources written by people who experienced or witness the event they describe and because of this primary sources are written during or shortly after the event. Also, different from secondary sources primary sources do not include information from other documents as they are only based on personal observations and experiences. "A journal entry from a young bride traveling west" is a primary source because the events described in it were written by the young bride who experienced each of them and she probably wrote the document during the event or trip which are essential features of primary sources. Also, other sources were written after events and not by people who experience or witnessed the event itself.

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
