My cell phone rings again. It is futile to ignore it; Valerie is persistent. When she wants something, she will continue to hara

ss me until I give in.
"Hello," I answer.

"State Fair, Bobbie?" she asks in her singsong voice. "When are we heading out? Only two more days left!"

I abhor the State Fair. The boisterous crowds, the insanely long lines, and the impossibility of finding a clean restroom all combine to make this an event that I utterly detest.

For Valerie, my best friend since middle school, the State Fair is a sign that divine powers really do exist.

"Really, Bobbie, where else can you pet a cow, ride a horse, fall ten stories, see the world’s smallest person and eat fried macaroni and cheese?" Valerie asks gleefully.

"Hades?" I guess.

The fried food at the State Fair is a gastronomical nightmare on its own. I once tried a fried pickle at the fair and was sick to my stomach for hours. And a fried donut hamburger with bacon, cheese, AND a greasy egg? How could that not be deleterious? Consuming a single serving of fair food has the potential to take years off your life. And I think about this. But then my better nature takes hold, and an image of Valerie's face on the other end of the line comes into view. I haven't seen her for a good month; our schedules are both so hectic. By and by, my hatred of the State Fair becomes inconsequential compared to my desire to spend time with Val. Besides, I don't have to eat the disgusting fair food. I can simply admire it from a safe distance.

Alas, I ignore my anti-fair bias for the umpteenth year. "Pick me up at noon," I say and hang up the phone.
According to the passage, Bobbie finally agrees to go to the fair because

A. Valerie convinces her using a tempting description
B. Valerie coerces her using peer pressure
C. she recognizes that she does not have to eat fair food
D. she wants to spend time with Valerie

It says in the passage, "An image of Valerie's face on the other end of the line comes into view. I haven't seen her for a good month; our schedules are both so hectic.

I can simply admire it from a safe distance."

HELP PLEASE THIS QUESTION IS SO HARD :(
son4ous [18]

Answer:

D. People can still walk up the stairs to one of the bell towers and take in an amazing view of the city.

Explanation:

This is actually very easy, check it out: Answers B and C have citations included at the end of the material ("Patel 65"), meaning that those sentences have properly displayed a source for the content they incorporate. So, they are not plagiarized. And answer A is a completely unique sentence that takes no words from the exemplified text. Answer D however, takes text directly from the example almost word-for-word without a source citation. Though the author attempted to switch out the word "astonishing" for "amazing," that is one difference of three minimum to avoid plagiarism. So, it has been plagiarized.
