Answers
The correct answer is option E.
A letter written during the time a historical event occurred is a useful primary source document.
Primary source documents are the most original way to understand Historical events.
If it was the letter written for discussing analysing the same historical event after the occurrence of the event, it would have been considered as a secondary source.
The correct answer for your question is option (E)-Useful Primary Source Documents.
Primary source Documents involves Diaries, Journals, Letters, memos, Photos, Videos, Opinion Polls, Speeches and none the less governmental records.
If a writer is about to describe a letter written during the time of a historical event that occurred once, the writer must have to site a source of the letter. Either the source may be the letter itself or the some other sources.
