Answer 1

Answer:

Purchasing plagiarism.

Explanation:

As the example suggests, the act of buying and handing an academical paper, test, final exam, etc., is called purchasing plagiarism. This is likely done in, for example, Paper Mills; making it the most obvious and intentional plagiarism around. In the example, no motivation or causes for this plagiarism is judged but the act itself of buying and handing a paper that is not ours, making it purchasing plagiarism.
