An excerpt from page 219 of the book, Off to See the Wizard: A Biography of Alan Moore by Jonah Sinnott: "It was on his fortieth

birthday that the famed comic book retiree decided to make an announcement that rocked the world of comics publishing: "I will no longer be writing comic books," said Alan Moore in one of his typically cryptic public statements, "I am retiring to become a full-time magician. Specifically, I have been converted to the religion of Glycon the Serpent God and want to pursue new avenues of knowledge that have been opened up to me recently through some intense, supernatural experiences." Needless to say, publishers were not ecstatic at this puzzling news." Which excerpt from a student essay below is an example of plagiarism?
A) Alan Moore claimed that he was giving up writing for comics because he had been converted to religion of a serpent god called Glycon.

B) Writer Jonah Sinnott quoted Moore's retirement announcement that claimed Moore was leaving comics not to rest but to become a "magician" (219).

C) Much to the comic book publishing world's astonishment, Moore announced he was leaving writing comics to "become a full time magician" (Sinnott 219).

D) Alan Moore decided upon his fortieth birthday to give up writing comics and pursue a body of knowledge of more interest to him: magic (Sinnott 219).

<em>Which excerpt from a student essay below is an example of plagiarism?  </em>

<em>The answer is A</em>

<em>A) Alan Moore claimed that he was giving up writing for comics because he had been converted to religion of a serpent god called Glycon. </em>

<em>This sentence is an example of plagiarism because the student does not use quotation marks or does not make any reference to the book or the page he got if from. In the way the student is using this information, it appears as if he had heard Alan Moore directly claiming this information and not from the book “Off to See the Wizard”. It is a common mistake when a student does not have proper strategies or tools to retain the information he or she considers relevant to cite from a source. There are pages, applications and programs that can do this work while we are reading material that we will have to cite in the text we are creating.</em>

The answer is A). The excerpt "Alan Moore claimed that he was giving up writing for comics because he had been converted to religion of a serpent god called Glycon" is an example of plagiarism.

This excerpt from a student essay presents the same information that provides the book<em> Off to See the Wizard: A Biography of Alan Moore </em>by Jonah Sinnott. Furthermore, the author of this excerpt does not quote Sinnott nor adds the page number of his book. That is to say, the author takes Sinott's words and presents it as if they were his/her own words. In order to give credit to the real author, the writer of the excerpt should have named the source or added the page number as it has been done in the excerpts from options B), C) and D).

Document B: Letter from President Kennedy to Chairman Khrushchev 4. In this letter Kennedy restates Khrushchev’s proposals. Does
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The letter was calm and restrained.

Explanation:

Tension between the United States and Russia, formerly known as the Union of Soviet Socialists States were on the rise. From the rocket race, to the missiles race, the tensions between the two countries kept escalating. In the wake of the events, one of the potentially dangerous events was the Cuban missile crisis. Russia thought to build a missile base in Cuba. This would present a great danger to the US. In the letter, Kennedy is tentative in his approach. He exercises restraint. In fact, in one of the lines he says, "...I recognize Mr. Chairman, that it was not I who issued the first challenge in this case..." The president distances himself from the provocations that had been sent his his predecessors.

Match each word with its synonym.
DENIUS [597]

The answer to your question would be the following one:

Cambridge dictionary defines "prevalent" as "existing very common or happening often". As regards "widespread", it states that it means "existing or happening in many places and/or among many people".

With respect to "requisite", Cambridge dictionary states that it is an adjective which means "necessary or needed for a particular purpose". As you can see, "necessary" is part of the definition of "requisite".

Finally, "propagate" is defined as "to spread opinions, lies, or beliefs among a lot of people". As you can see, "spread" is part of the definition of "propagate".

Prevalent: Widespread

Requisite: Necessary

Propagate: Spread
