Answer: It’s Alan
Explanation:
Plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s ideas and pasting them off as their own. Even though someone like Karen may have forgotten to add citations, reading her essay would make it very clear that she is adding in her own ideas; she just forgot to add in the sources of which she tried to find information from. Alan didn’t do any work and tried to pass off the whole essay as his own. He did so on purpose too.
I would say the best answer is A, he hides behind a tree. I was in between A and D, but one can run in a park.
B wouldn't work because him being dressed in ordinary street clothes doesn't show that he's afraid of something.
C wouldn't work because although yes, he was panting, that could mean that he's just tired; not necessarily, scared.
The man hiding behind the tree is the best evidence for the conclusion of him being afraid of something. Also in the passage it states, "....he moved behind a tree. Seeming not to notice my presence, he stood with his back against the trunk, panting."
