Which of these paintings should be considered a primary source?
O
A. Neither painting is a primary source
O
B. Only The Scene at the Signing of the Constitution is a primary

A. Neither painting is a primary source.

Explanation:

"Primary sources" are considered materials that are first-hand accounts of certain events that a researcher is curious about. This means that the sources have been created during the time period or closest to the time period that they happened.

The painted image of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 was made in 1940, so this is not a primary source. In the same way, the American victory at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781 was made in 1836, thus, this image is not a primary source as well. They were made far after the events occurred.  

So, this explains the answer.

your answer would be (b)
