Which one of the following(20 more words not shown)

Reading the passage

The second paragraph is our source list: library materials, the surviving films, interviews with fellow performers, and interviews with Tucker himself. We need a source the author actually names. A person's occupation or connection to Tucker doesn't establish that every related kind of record was used.

Working the answers

  • A

    Newspapers are mentioned, but critics' reviews are not specifically identified. We can't assume which kinds of newspaper material the researcher consulted.

  • B

    Tucker collected the memorabilia. This answer instead gives us a collection concerning Tucker assembled by fellow performers. Those are different claims about who collected what.

  • C

    The researcher examined films, not scripts of plays or films. A recording of a performance isn't the same source as its written script.

  • D
    Correct

    The author explicitly mentions interviews with Tucker's “contemporaries and fellow performers.” That directly supports interviews with people who performed with him.

  • E

    Tucker worked as a union administrator, but that biographical fact doesn't tell us the researcher consulted union records. The source is not named.
