Which text is an example of a primary source about gorge washington a. a painting about him done today b. a letter from him c. a description about him from a historian d. a social studies textbook

B. a letter from him is your best answer

Primary sources are sources from the time and place, and generally is the best when it comes from the person himself.

A painting about him done today is not a primary source, because it was not created during the time of George Washington

A description about him from a historian is not a primary source, because:

1) The historian has never met Washington himself

2) The historian did not live in the same time period

A social studies textbook is not a primary source, because the text book draws it's information from other secondary sources and the primary source. Textbooks usually are made years after the events occured.

hope this helps
