A:

Luke's Gospel contains an account of the angel talling Mary that she would bear a child. It also talks of Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth and sing the Magnificat, a hymn of praise actually based on passages from the Old Testament. Compare this to Mathew's Gospel, where Joseph is the recipient of the angel's message, rather than Mary.

It should be borne in mind that Luke was written over a century after the birth of Jesus, so its anonymous author had no way of knowing the private thoughts and experiences of Zecharias, Elizabeth and Mary, as described in Luke chapter 1. New Testament scholars regard these accounts as literary creations, rather than testimony direct from Mary.

We can determine that Luke likely interviewed Mary when he was working on his book, because there are things the Luke includes in his Gospel that none of the other Gospel writers include. There are things that only Mary would have known and so the fact they are in Gospel of Luke, he had to have talked to Mary to learn them.
