Read the passage from a fictional article below and answer the question that follows.Although each of the subjects knew they could quit at any time, none of them asked to stop the experiment. They all continued to the bitter end.–Jimmy Olsen, page 251Now read the following passages from a separate article. Which of the following uses of the above passage is not considered plagiarism?
Answer
A
Each of the subjects knew they could quit, but none of them asked to stop the experiment. In fact, they all continued to the bitter end, even though they were very anxious (Olsen 251).
B
Even Olsen seemed surprised by the findings. He remarked that “although each of the subjects knew they could quit at any time...[t]hey all continued to the bitter end” (Olsen 251).
C
Although the subjects knew they could quit, none of them even asked to stop the experiment!
D
And as we look at these subjects, although clearly anxious, none of them asked to stop the experiment. They all continued to the bitter end (Olsen 251).
Explanation
B identifies Olsen as the source and places the borrowed wording in quotation marks, using an ellipsis and brackets to show that part of the original has been omitted and adjusted. That makes it a properly cited quotation. The other choices use Olsen’s ideas or wording without clearly marking the borrowed language as a quotation.
