When a new document draws a fact directly from a source without adding new information, which derivative classification concept is used?

• A. Contained in
• B. Compilation
• C. Derived from
• D. Referred to as

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is that when you take a fact directly from a source and include it in a new document without adding anything new, you mark it as contained in the source. You’re not creating new meaning or drawing new conclusions; you’re simply reproducing the exact fact from the source and keeping the original classification level. Because the information remains exactly what the source provides, it retains the source’s classification rather than being treated as something newly derived. If you were to add analysis or draw new conclusions from the source, that would be derived from; if you combined material from multiple sources, that would be a compilation.
