Answer 1

Answer:

Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation.

Explanation:

Plagiarism simply means passing off another person's idea or thoughts as if they were your own. It means to copy and paste a piece of writing without duly referencing the original author of the work.

Plagiarism is considered as a serious offence in academic work and usually attracts very severe sanctions.

However, if a quotation is duly cited, then it does not fall into the realm of plagiarism.
