Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is a) Yes. Any work or ideas that originated with someone else that you pass off as your own, accidentally or on purpose, is plagiarism. Incorrect referencing and forgetting to include full citations also count as plagiarism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why is it insufficient to cite sources for your work through a bibliography alone? Because no one will know what works you consulted in the preparation of your essay.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is acceptable to copy-and-paste a sentence written by someone else into your paper and simply add quotation marks around it. Explanation: To show proper attribution, a writer must put quotation marks around the quoted passage and add a corresponding reference in MLA, APA, or any other format that is accepted.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plagiarism is presenting work or ideas from another source as your own, with or without consent of the original author, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement.
