Question

In November 2019, Shalini was asked to record a play her class was performing for Children's Day. The play was a grand success. Ever since then, it had been the talk of the town for several months to come, and the actors and actresses of the play had become legends.

Ten years later, you want to study about this play and see why it is being spoken of even today by parents and teachers. You stumble across Shalini's video in the storage room of the school.

For you, what kind of historical source is the video?

• A. Literary source
• B. Audio-visual source
• C. Oral source
• D. Archival source

Answer 1

The correct option is B Audio-visual source

The video that you find in the storage room is actually media - an audio-and-video media. The video is not an oral source, although the play was the talk of the town, making its performers legends.
