Answer 1

The correct options for defining plagiarism are:

1. **Using ideas you have previously published and not referencing yourself.**
2. **representing another person's work — their words and/or ideas — as your own.**
3. **not acknowledging the sources your ideas are built upon.**

The following option is **not** correct:

- **paraphrasing ideas with explicit acknowledgement of the author.** (This is not considered plagiarism, as long as the source is properly credited.)

So the correct selections are the first three options.
