    Correct Answer
    A. Protecting against copying
    Explanation
    Copyright refers to the legal protection granted to original works of authorship, such as literary, artistic, musical, or dramatic works.

    Correct Answer
    A. All the above
    Explanation
    Plagiarizing is wrong because it involves using someone else's work without giving them credit for it. This is not only unethical but also a form of cheating.

    Explanation
    One of the consequences for plagiarism is being suspended from school. Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's work or ideas without giving them proper credit.

Being suspended from school serves as a punishment and a deterrent to discourage students from engaging in plagiarism.

    Which of the following scenarios best represents mosaic plagiarism?

    • Directly copying a paragraph from a source without quotation marks and proper citation.

    • Reusing a paper you submitted for a previous class in a new class without permission from the instructor.

    • Combining phrases from multiple sources, changing a few words here and there, and presenting it as your own work without proper citations.

    • Accidentally forgetting to include a citation for a paraphrased idea in your bibliography.

    Correct Answer
    A. Combining phrases from multiple sources, changing a few words here and there, and presenting it as your own work without proper citations.
    Explanation
    Mosaic plagiarism, also known as patchwriting, occurs when a writer borrows phrases from a source without using quotation marks or changes words in a source while keeping to the same general structure and meaning. This type of plagiarism can be tricky to identify because the writer is not copying word-for-word but is instead mixing in parts of the original text into their work without proper attribution.
