Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The articles written on Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2009 are primary sources. However, if a reporter in 2009 wrote about George Washington’s inauguration using information written by someone else in 1789, that would be a secondary source.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Primary Source is information that was created at the same time as an event or by a person directly involved in the event. Diaries, speeches, letters, official records, autobiographies. A Secondary Source gets its information from somewhere else or by a person not directly involved in the event.
