Original Source Material Student Version Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is satisfying because it shows us a way in which simplicity could change into complexity, how unordered atoms could group themselves into ever more complex patterns until they ended up manufacturing people. References: Dawkins, R. (1989). The selfish gene (3rd ed.). Oxford, England: Oxford University Press. While the theory of evolution does have detractors, I find it provides a very convincing explanation of how highly complex organisms such as humans could evolve from simple atoms (Dawkins, 1989). Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

a. Word-for-Word plagiarism
b. Paraphrasing plagiarism
c. This is not plagiarism

Answer :

Answer:

c. This is not plagiarism

Explanation:

In research, the term plagiarism refers to the fact of taking someone else's ideas or concepts and use them as if they were one's own. In other words, when writing a paper, we use someone else's work and we don't quote the original authors and it seems as if the words were ours.

In this example, we can see that the text shown has a paragraph and at the end of each one it has the reference (author and year) indicating the person who actually said that before. Therefore, this student is not taking someone else's work and passing it as his/her own and thus, this is not plagiarism
