This question is about "Button, button" written by Richard Matheson.

Answer:

Norma's argument imposes unpredictability on how the story will develop. The reader cannot imagine if they will press the button, if someone will die or if the box will solve or cause a problem. This causes tension in the reading and a feeling that anything can happen at any time, thus generating suspense.

Explanation:

Norma and Arthur are a couple who are facing many financial problems, one day they receive a mysterious box with the button. If they press the button they will receive 50 thousand dollars, but this will cause a person to die. Arthur and Norma are very doubtful if they press the button and cause someone to die, although Norma seems more willing to do so. However, the entire narrative is governed by unpredictability, causing a feeling of suspense and apprehension, as the story may follow several unpredictable paths.

Ara copies a paragraph directly from an article she found. She forgets to use quotation marks but she cites the source in her bi
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Yes, it is.

Explanation:

In the strictest of terms, even if this was an unwilling omission, it would be considered plagiarism because an objective reader, even if he or she sees the cited reference in the bibliography, that reader will still be unable to figure out what exactly was cited from such source. Without quotation marks, there is no absolute way to differentiate between the source cited and the text around it.
