Plagiarism test

Spoiler alert! Answers over the fold …

1. Plagiarism – text is exactly the same as the original and no citation or quotation marks.
2. Plagiarism – some changes to the text, but nowhere near enough to be real paraphrase (where you have to change almost everything). Also … no quotation marks or citation!
3. Not plagiarism – although the citation doesn’t include the date of publication, and you shouldn’t quote something this long without a very good reason!
4. Not plagiarism – as above, but this time the citation’s correct.
5. Plagiarism – very good paraphrasing of the original text, so there aren’t any quotation marks, but … no citation.
6. Not plagiarism – great paraphrase of the text, and correctly, no quotation marks. Plus a citation. Perfect!
