In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. determine the type of plagiarism

student version
decisions that look like the result of smart strategic thinking could, instead, be attributed to a culture that values opportunistic experimenting and intentional mishaps. collins and porras (2002) point out their surprise at finding that many of the visionary companies that they researched "made some of their best moves not by detailed planning, but rather by experimentation, trial and error, opportunism, and--quite literally--accident" (p. 141).

original version
in examining the history of the visionary companies, we were struck by how often they made some of their best moves not by detailed strategic planning, but rather by experimentation, trial and error, opportunism, and--quite literally--accident. what looks in hindsight like a brilliant strategy was often the residual result of opportunistic experimentation and "purposeful accidents."

which of the following is true for the student version above?

(a) word-for-word plagiarism
(b) paraphrasing plagiarism
(c) this is not plagiarism

The correct answer is B) Paraphrasing plagiarism

Explanation:

According to both versions of the text, we can find evidence of paraphrasing plagiarism, which means not using exactly the same words of the author but using similar ones when writing.

The examples of paraphrasing plagiarism are:

Original: brilliant strategy; plagiarism: smart strategic thinking

Original: opportunistic experimentation; plagiarism: opportunistic experimenting

Original: "purposeful accidents"; plagiarism: intentional mishaps

The rest of the options are incorrect since word-by-word plagiarism refers to the use of the exact words between the original text and the other version.

In this case, a quotation making reference to the authors´ specific words is included. The authors are mentioned as sources of those quoted words, so it is not considered plagiarism.

The correct answer is (C) This is not plagiarism.

Explanation:

Although student's version seems to be a paraphrase of the original version, it cannot be considered plagiarism since it mentions and makes reference by authors' names, year of publishing and quotation marks to the original version. It is not a word-for-word plagiarism exactly by the fact it provides quotation marks, and it is not a paraphrasing plagiarism because it actually just describes and explains the following quote it is about to present and make reference to.

b. is correct just got it right.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is most likely c. it shows us that the rules that the pigs make can change on a whim whenever it suits the pigs purpose.
