Answer 1

- Paraphrase and cite a source — Avoids plagiarism. (You’re putting ideas into your own words and giving credit.)
- Use another writer's words without citation because you agree with the idea — Leads to plagiarism. (No citation = presenting someone else’s words/ideas as your own.)
- Place quotation marks around a direct quote and cite a source — Avoids plagiarism. (You clearly mark and credit the original author.)
- Copy text from a website without enclosing it in quotation marks — Leads to plagiarism. (Direct copying without quotation marks misrepresents authorship.)
