"In most situations, the first-born male has priority to inherit the chieftainship (primogeniture)" (Nowak & Laird, 2010, p. 177).

Question

Suppose you write the following in a post/paper: In most cases, the first-born male has priority to inherit the chieftainship (Nowak & Laird, 2010). You have changed one word and left out one word. Is this acceptable? (Points : 1)
No. The phrasing is too close, even if you include a citation. You should change the phrasing completely or include the original quotation with quotation marks and a citation with a page number.
Yes, it is okay as is
