Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Ryan Tompkins located three excellent sources for his persuasive speech. He copied long sections from each source word for word, strung them together with a few transitions, and mentioned the sources of his information in passing. Which of the following statements best describes Ryan's situation?
a) Ryan is ethical because he did research for his speech.
b) Ryan is guilty of global plagiarism.
c) Ryan is guilty of patchwork plagiarism.
d) Ryan is ethical because he mentioned the sources of his information.
e) Ryan is guilty of incremental plagiarism.
Answer:
The best option is letter C) Ryan is guilty of patchwork plagiarism.
Explanation:
<u>When someone copies large portions of two or more sources and presents the result as their own work, we have a case of patchwork plagiarism. </u>Even though Ryan mentioned the sources of his information in passing, he did not make an effort to express himself with his own words and ideas. Ryan did not add anything of value. All he did was copy long sections from each source and connect them, very much like we do with pieces of cloth when doing patchwork. Instead of using the sources to corroborate and support his ideas, Ryan used them as if they were his own ideas.

I think this is a very evoking novel. Ivan's life had been a very "normal" life, plenty of situations that led him to achieve things that were very important like having a good education to be prepared for a professional life full of success. His family life with a wife and a son also gave him some emotional stability, but after the accident at home problems appeared and wife didn't give the situation the real importance, then he started to have thoughts and sensations of dying.
I consider this novel a particularly spiritual work because Ivan's loyal nurse, Gerasim, and the little son are the only ones that can comprehend the real risk of death for Ivan. While he suffered his illness, he made a thorough review of his life and found that it was much happier when he was younger. Finally he discovered that his family life, including social relations are artificial and decided not to fight against this truth. At the end, when he dies he had a feeling of extreme joy and liberation.
