Question

Which would a historian use most often to research people or events from the past?

a. old books and papers
b. old buildings and ruins
c. old tools and pottery shards

Answer 1

They use all of them. They probably use more tools though because back then they probably didn't have too much paper

Answer 2

The most reasonable answer would be: A) old books and papers.

A historian is an expert in history. There are chances that they would use old tools, pottery shards, old buildings, and ruins for their source of information, but if they would want to learn more accurate information about the past, they would use old books and papers.
