Answer 1

An example of plagiarizing the third sentence above would be:

"Between 1869–1910, the value of American manufacturing rose from $3 billion to $13 billion."

If this sentence is presented without quotation marks or proper citation, it would be considered plagiarism, as it directly uses the original wording without attribution.

The other options that include citations or paraphrasing are not examples of plagiarism.

Answer 5

To avoid plagiarizing a source you want to use in writing a paper, you can select the following options:

1. Making sure to cite the source accurately - Properly citing all sources is crucial to avoiding plagiarism.

2. Either paraphrasing or directly quoting the text with a citation - Both paraphrasing (putting the information in your own words) and directly quoting (using the original wording with quotes) require citation to credit the original author.

The following options do not specifically help in avoiding plagiarism:

• By quoting the source in full - While quoting in full can be appropriate, it must still be accompanied by proper citation. Simply quoting does not mean plagiarism is avoided if not cited.

• By finding an additional source with a competing point of view - While this can enhance the quality of your work, it does not directly address how to avoid plagiarizing a particular source.

Therefore, the correct answers are the first two options.
