Answer:
C. “The students who would end up the best in their class began to practice more than everyone else: six hours a week by age nine, eight hours a week by age twelve, sixteen hours a week by age fourteen, and up and up…”
Explanation:
This is the only sentence from the excerpt that supports the idea that more practice is better since it leads to greater success. This is shown since the statement says that the students that were the best, ended up practicing more than everyone else.
Answer:Peer Pressure Kept Them From the Party
Ghoul and ghost were way up high on a walnut tree limb.
Owl flew up, intending to go to the haunted house, straight in.
Jack-o-lantern head saw his friends, and climbed up to join them.
What are we doing here? He asked his friends in a whisper slim.
We’re scared of the party, Owl said as he took a bumpy limb seat.
Skeleton came outside the house and tried to entice them with a treat.
But the four stayed up there the entire Halloween night.
None could get over their intense peer pressure fright.
Explanation:
Answer: D. Both A and C
Explanation: When you use someone's idea or quotes without giving proper credit, without acknowledging or citing the original author; that is plagiarism. If you want to evade any accusations of Plagiarism, you must properly give citations of any wordings or ideas that are not your own by putting them in quotations as well as writing the name of the author and date of publication.
Option A cited the author but did not put the statement in quotation which translates that those statements are his own ideas but the reverse the case, resulting to plagiarism
In option B, the author was properly cited and the statements were in quotation and that is not Plagiarism.
Option C neither cited nor put the statement in quotation which also resulted in Plagiarism.
So both A and C are plagiarism.
