Answer:
I've never read the passage and you did not provide said passage so all I can do is give you an explanation of the differences between a first-hand account and a second-hand account if it may help!
Explanation:
Usually, a first-hand experience or account is when someone was the first to go through an event and tell of said event or be the start of a said first encounter or experience that others would later agree to experiencing or sharing an experience similar with the first person who had and they themseleves had went through, for example, you want to know if this passage called "Waiting to be Discovered: The Loch Ness Monster" is, and before I go on, I have not read this article or passage or whatever it may be, so do not take my word over someone who has read it, a first or second-hand account. Which it is most likely not, depending on the person telling and writing and publishing the passage or if it is an autobiography, diary, or personal letter, if you know these things and can say otherwise, then do so and try to find evidence of it being a first-hand account story because if it is first-hand they are using words and or phrases like I, I think, me, we, etc. because a first-hand account is when someone is telling a story they had gone through and aren't repeating or telling a story they have not gone through or is someone elses, so unless this passage was written by someone who had gone to the destination this Scottish underwater beast said to be a mere folktail called the Loch Ness monster inhabits or is told to be and or was someone who had first seen the thing in the waters in 1933 or is Alexander Macdonald who made first started this very much akin story to folklore and Kelpies monster fairytales etc. in Scotland (and other places) or one man who had seen a beast similarly told and described as to what we now familarly call the Loch Ness monster or Nessie who had told of his childhood first-hand experinces in 1934, in the Scotland Newspaper. But most of those people are dead or are no longer writing and telling online, the press, or to the public anymore, of their experiences and sitings, sadly, but if the someone writing is any of those above or is someone who has given a prior eyewitness account then it may be true but it's unlikely because it's not every day someone seeks out a monster who may or may not be the friendliest. And sometimes the narrator who had the experience will give their thoughts and feelings on it.
Second-hand accounts are told through the narrator and not said narrator's perspective, they are presumably telling the perceptive of someone else who had/has gone through an experience. The narrator or writer will also use "you" and "yours" and pronouns like "it/she/he/they" etc. as well as their or his/hers name(s) during the telling of the story and the narrator usually will include facts and more information on the subject.
When comparing and contrasting two passages, look for:
The most important point in each text
The most important details in each text
The ideas only found in one text and not in another
Whether a text has more facts and details or feelings and thoughts
Whether a text uses the pronouns “I” or “we”
I Hoped this helped!!
(if possible could I get a brainliest this took forever to write :,))
