Q1- Answer is option C- Textbook
Textbook is an example for secondary source of evidence why because the author is not participated directly or became an eyewitness in the historical event or periods while the other three options are included in the primary source of evidence.
Q2- Answer is option A- OR
The Boolean operator “OR” will helps to expand the number of search results for all possible variations with the same meaning. “AND” will narrow the search results to include only the relevant results and “NOT” will limit the result by excluding the keywords and phrases from the results. YET is not included in the Boolean operators.
