Answer:

"Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed... it is very well known that they are every day dying... as fast as can be reasonably expected."

Explanation:

The above-mentioned phrase is an example of hyperbole taken from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift.

A hyperbole is a rhetoric device used in the writing in an exaggerated manner to point out to something of importance.

In the above lines the Swift in his proposal is emphasizing the suffering of poor in an exaggerated manner. He is bringing the conditions of the poor to attention to his audience by using hyperbole in these lines.

A student used this information to write a research paper. Which sentence in the student's paper is plagiarized

Alborosie

Answer:

In the research paper, the sentence below is plagiarized.

"Going Green" means practicing an environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible lifestyle as well as making decisions to help protect the environment and sustain natural resources.

Explanation:

First, I had to rearrange the write up properly as seen below.

"Going Green" means practicing an environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible lifestyle as well as making decisions to help protect the environment and sustain natural resources. There are lots of reasons to consider going green - too much trash, greenhouse gases, air and water pollution, damage to the ozone layer, and saving money. As a result of my research, I believe that we should all do our part to protect the environment. Too much trash is one reason for environmental pollution, according to USA gov, the US government's official Web portal.

The writer started the write up by technically defining the term "going green" as seen below.

"Going Green" means practicing an environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible lifestyle as well as making decisions to help protect the environment and sustain natural resources.

This technical definition is almost certainly gotten from her research, and the author is not stated. This is a clear case of plagiarism, unlike at the last sentence of the write up where she cited the US governments's official portal for a fact used in that last sentence of the write up.
