Explanation:

In history and related fields, a primary source is a source that provides first-hand information, this means the source records information of an event or historical period that occurred at the same time the source was created. Besides this, it is common the authors of these sources lived or witnessed the event they write about in the source and this source only includes experiences rather than other sources.

According to this, the one that is an example of a primary source is "A diary entry from an American homemaker in 1933" because in this source it is likely the author writes about the context in 1933 which means it provides firsthand information. Also, other sources summarize or analyze other sources and therefore are not primary.
