Which source would best help a historian understand how the Great Chicago Fire affected families?

A.) a biography of a Chicago family displaced by the fire
B.) a letter from a grandmother in New York to her family in Chicago
C.) a newspaper editorial about families who were displaced
D.) an oral history dictated by an adolescent who fled the fire

Respuesta :

The answer is letter C.) a newspaper editorial about families who were displaced.

A newspaper editorial refers to the opinion of a leading staff or writer of a newspaper. This would share data on how families were affected by the 
Great Chicago Fire, through the lens of an educated staff. The other sources presented only speak a small percentage of the families/people affected by the fire.
