Answer: B

Jerome is ethical because he cited his sources and used them to develop his own slant on the topic.

Explanation:

Plagiarism is the act of taking the work of an individual, using them and passing them off as one's work. Emerson was ethical as she did not copy the works of another source word for word, in fact she blended it with her own wordings and where she couldn't find add her own perspective she paraphrased and sited the source in her speech.
