The answer is A). The excerpt "Alan Moore claimed that he was giving up writing for comics because he had been converted to religion of a serpent god called Glycon" is an example of plagiarism.

This excerpt from a student essay presents the same information that provides the book Off to See the Wizard: A Biography of Alan Moore by Jonah Sinnott. Furthermore, the author of this excerpt does not quote Sinnott nor adds the page number of his book. That is to say, the author takes Sinott's words and presents it as if they were his/her own words. In order to give credit to the real author, the writer of the excerpt should have named the source or added the page number as it has been done in the excerpts from options B), C) and D).

Which excerpt from a student essay below is an example of plagiarism?  

The answer is A

A) Alan Moore claimed that he was giving up writing for comics because he had been converted to religion of a serpent god called Glycon.

This sentence is an example of plagiarism because the student does not use quotation marks or does not make any reference to the book or the page he got if from. In the way the student is using this information, it appears as if he had heard Alan Moore directly claiming this information and not from the book “Off to See the Wizard”. It is a common mistake when a student does not have proper strategies or tools to retain the information he or she considers relevant to cite from a source. There are pages, applications and programs that can do this work while we are reading material that we will have to cite in the text we are creating.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
