Use the passage below to answer the question
"baseball bores me" by sam hughes baseball is rather surprisingly known as "america's favorite pastime." it is a rather boring sport played between two teams of nine players. as silliness would have it, the players use a wooden or metal bat to hit a ball around a diamond-shaped playing field. at each of the points of the diamond is a marker, called a base. home base is where the batter stands. players from the opposing team are positioned at the other bases: first, second, and third. a batter scores a run by hitting the ball and running around the bases before members of the other team can tag him with the ball. the batter must run counter-clockwise around all of the bases and back to home to get a point.
this might sound exciting, but it's not. if you saw the italicized sentence in an essay, would it constitute plagiarism? baseball is surprisingly known as "america's favorite pastime." but don't worry because football is hot on its heels in the race for the title.
yes. it uses the original author's words but does not include quotes or a citation. no. it uses the author's original words but significantly changes their meaning.
it is actually an example of paraphrasing rather than plagiarizing.
it is actually an example of summarizing rather than plagiarizing

Which sentence from this passage explains what the main characters do in rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead? "tom stoppard's play, rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead, draws on two previous theatrical works: shakespeare's hamlet and samuel beckett's waiting for godot." "as in beckett's play, rosencrantz and guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time." "these same two characters were also featured in a parody of hamlet, the short comic play by w. s. gilbert entitled rosencrantz and guildenstern." "gilbert's play makes rosencrantz and guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of hamlet."

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.
