Answer:

Purpose

Explanation:

Primary sources are the "original" documents that are included in research. These include documents, images or artifacts that provide firsthand testimony about the particular topic that is being researched. Therefore, these belong to the same time period than the event that is being researched. When examining primary sources, it is important to evaluate the creator's purpose. Understanding purpose can allow us to better understand the context surrounding the event and the underlying bias that the author may have had when producing the document.
