Answer: Wild Goose Chase
Explanation:
Plagiarism is a big issue in the academic and journalistic world ( indeed any subject that has to do with writing) and it is worthy of note that it does not mean simply copying a person's work to pass as your own. It can also mean failing to give proper credit where it is due.
This is the form of plagiarism that the Wild Goose Chase plagiarism is. It involves using the works of an author but instead of correctly citing them so due credit is given, the writer instead uses other sources either real or made up which is what Lee did in her blog post.
It is called a Wild Goose Chase because somebody aiming to verifying the information will not find the information where they were supposed to meaning that the writer had sent them on a wild goose chase.
Oceans produce approximately 80 percent of the oxygen our planet needs to support animal life. Pollution that reaches the ocean through dumping, oil leaks, runoff, and other processes interferes with that oxygen production and poses a real threat to the oxygen content in our atmosphere. If the oxygen content decreases, it is likely that carbon dioxide will increase. This could have dramatic consequences for life as we know it.<span> </span>

This word is usually used as a noun; but in this case, it is a verb that means to provide shelter to someone or something, to keep someone safe, but also to have something in mind and think about it. This word is purposefully chosen and fits into Whitman's well-intended, philanthropic and inclusive worldview.
