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 option “paraphrasing ideas with explicit acknowledgement of the author” is not correct because properly paraphrasing with acknowledgement does not constitute plagiarism.
