Which of the following is not a primary document ?

  • A.Reference book
  • B.Patents
  • C.Thesis
  • D.Journal

Answer: A

The item that is not a primary document is the Reference book.

Primary documents report original work or new information for the first time: patents disclose inventions, theses present original research, and journals carry articles reporting new findings.

A reference book, such as an encyclopedia, dictionary, handbook or directory, compiles and organises knowledge already published elsewhere, so it is a secondary or tertiary source, not a primary one.
