Something is plagiarism if one takes material from another source and uses it without pointing toward that source, thus making it appear that it is originally written.

1. No, this is not plagiarism since she herself is the original writer, thus she is not stealing content from anybody else.<span>

2. According to Casey Berry of Sciences Ltd., "Only 6% of students wash their hands after class." This first choice is not plagiarism, since the student has cited the researcher Casey Berry, and has enclosed the directly copied statement in quotation marks. In contrast, the second choice mentions "a recent study" without any direct mention of who did the study, and it copies the conclusion verbatim without using quotation marks.

3. This is not plagiarism, since she places a hyperlink to the source, thus acknowledging that what she has written is not her own original material. However, this is considered bad practice, to simply link to a source without describing what it has done or which parts specifically you have taken from it. You would not probably be sued in court for plagiarism, but it is still advisable to describe what the source has done.

4. No, this is not plagiarism. He has used quotation marks for direct quotes. The paraphrased information does not need quotation marks. Hyperlinks and attributions have been provided for each, so there are no issues with this kind of writing.

5. Yes, this is plagiarism. The BlogMutt writer got information from another post (which may or may not have been original material, we do not know), and did not attribute that post. Furthermore, this write-up is for a customer, not merely for discussion in forums, so pretending that the information on the post is his own is not only plagiarism, but it is also business dishonesty as he is stealing someone's work and selling it to a customer as his own.</span>

When Samuel Johnson coined the term “metaphysical poets,” what trait was he calling attention to?

Katena32 [7]

So, basically "Meta"="after" physical is well.. physical
so metaphysical is "after the physical". basically, metaphysics deal with questions that can't be explained...by science anyway. It questions the nature of reality in a philosophical way.

some common questions are: does God exists? Is there a difference between the way things appear to us and the way they really are?
is consciousness limited to the brain?
so hat type of poetry sounds like it would be very abstract, and if all of these poet friends did write poems like that then I believe the answer more than likely is
C.) the poet's fondness for abstract ideas.

Which phrase from mark Antony's speech best shows that he is using ethos?

Ludmilka [50]

The mode of persuasion "ethos" appeals to beliefs or ideals of a community and also an authority figure's character or credibility to influence individuals through morals.

In the famous play "Julius Caesar", Mark Anthony changed the opinion of the Romans by making them hate Brutus and the conspirators using "ethos" to put their credibility on the spot with irony and sarcasm when he repeatedly calls them "Honorable Men"; on the other hand he praise Caesar's loyalty to him when he calls him "His faithful friend", making people empathize with his character.

Lines 80-93: In what four places does Poe repeat a word or phrase? What idea does the repetition of “to feel” emphasize? What im

Debora [2.8K]

In this excerpt from “The Tell-Tale Heart,” Poe repeats the words "feel" in lines 85 and 86, and "stealthily" in line 91.

The repetition of the word "feel" is intended to create a pace of suspense and horror, as well as to make the reader feel the emotions the narrator and the old man feel. Thus, repetition represents the beating of the two men's hearts.

The recurrence of the word "stealthily" also suggesst how vile and deceitful the narrator is. In fact, he is entering the old man's house to kill him.

Douglass says, “At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument is needed” (lines 138–139). Why does he say this,

Tamiku [17]

He says this because he is discussing the Fourth of July -- Independence Day.

Douglass says, however, that not everyone is independent. Some Americans, he reasons, are far from independent -- namely slaves. It is ironic that, on a day Americans celebrate freedom, a large portion of the population is anything but free.
