Which of the following is an example of secondary literature?

A novel
New England Journal of Medicine
An autobiography
A personal diary

The correct answer is: New England Journal of Medicine

A novel is an example of primary literature, as it is a firsthand account or creation of the author. The same can be said for an autobiography and a personal diary. However, secondary literature refers to works that analyze or interpret primary sources, which is why the New England Journal of Medicine, a scholarly publication that reviews and discusses current medical research and practices, is the correct answer.
