Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

a. Word-for-Word plagiarism

The student has copied the original source word-for-word without acknowledging the source. The word been copied is "where variables are measured separately and then a mathematical model is chosen to portray the relationship among the variables". Which is the same in both version.
