In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work.

Original Source Material:
Of course, you could say that free will is an illusion anyway. If there really is a complete theory of physics that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being, and it involves a certain randomness due to quantum mechanical effects.

Student Version:
Like Einstein before him, Hawkings has established himself as a physics superstar. Of particular interest is his work towards a theory of everything. If physics govern everything, a comprehensive theory of physics could also make predictions about how people will act in the future. A precise calculation is, however, impossible in the case of an organism that is as complicated as a human being, and it involves a certain randomness due to quantum mechanical effects.

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

(a) Word-for-Word plagiarism
(b) Paraphrasing plagiarism
(c) This is not plagiarism

Relax

Respuesta :

Answer:

(c) This is not plagiarism

Explanation:

the original source material and the student version do not seem much alike. yet, it looks like the student version may have taken inspiration from the original source, they have not plagiarized.
