Question

Which of the following are examples of plagiarism? Paraphrasing an article you read Writing about a new idea that came to you when reading an article Copying someone else's writing word for word Trying to pass off another writer's work as your own Writing an essay in your own words, using ideas you read elsewhere Starting from scratch, without any outside influence Using the structure and logic of an article but changing the details

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answers are:

Copying someone else's writing word for word

Trying to pass off another writer's work as your own

Explanation:

This is because plagiarism describes when you copy someone else's work or do not give credit to the original author.  The other options are not examples of plagiarism because paraphrasing or gaining inspiration from outside sources are acceptable provided you use your own words rather than copying from another source.

Hope this helps!
