Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A person-to-person interview is a direct source of primary data as the information is obtained directly from the individual being interviewed. A library may contain primary sources, but it is not a primary source in itself. Magazine advertisements can provide secondary data but not primary data. A census provides primary data, but it is collected through a survey and is not a direct source like a person-to-person interview.
