Question 1 • Intro to Software Tech A - TLC

Which statement from a research paper is an example of plagiarism?

Answer

President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

The climate of the earth “likely will continue to warm this century,” according to a recent study released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

In the novel, the characters are living “lives of quiet desperation” in which they show a deep unhappiness with their fates in life.

In his autobiography, Up From Slavery, Booker T. Washington wrote, “I had the feeling that to get into a schoolhouse and study would be about the same as getting into paradise.”

Explanation

Plagiarism includes using someone else’s exact words without identifying the source. Choice C puts “lives of quiet desperation” in quotation marks but does not say who wrote those words or where they come from. The other choices identify the speaker, study, or book that is the source of each quotation.
