Answer

Duplicating the references section of the work

Explanation

### Why this is right Plagiarism means presenting another person’s words, ideas, or work as your own without clear acknowledgment. Verbatim copying, patchwriting, and purloining are ways this can happen, but duplicating a references section is not usually classified as a type of plagiarism by itself. A reference list names sources, and two works may legitimately list some of the same sources. ### The concept **Verbatim copying** is using someone’s exact words without quotation marks and a citation. **Patchwriting** is making only small changes to a source’s wording or sentence structure, so the text remains too close to the original. **Purloining** means taking another person’s work or ideas and presenting them as your own. A **references section** lists sources cited in a work and follows citation conventions, so matching entries do not by themselves mean that writing or ideas were stolen. Copying a reference list without checking its entries may be misleading, but it is not the standard plagiarism type tested here. ### The other options - **A. Verbatim copying**: This is a form of plagiarism when exact words are used without quotation and proper citation. It may seem distinct because the words are plainly borrowed, but that is why they need acknowledgment. - **B. Patch writing**: This describes patchwriting, a form of plagiarism in which source wording is changed only slightly. It can seem like original paraphrasing, but the phrasing remains too close. - **C. purloining**: This means taking another person’s work or ideas and claiming them as one’s own, which is plagiarism. ### Watch out The exception does not mean references can be copied carelessly: inaccurate references or implying that you consulted sources you did not read can still raise academic-integrity concerns. The point is that duplicating a references section is not, by itself, a standard type of plagiarism. ### Terms - **Plagiarism**: Presenting someone else’s words, ideas, or work as your own without proper acknowledgment. - **Verbatim copying**: Reusing exact words from a source. - **Patchwriting**: Changing a source’s wording only slightly while retaining too much of its original phrasing or structure. - **Purloining**: Taking someone else’s work or ideas without acknowledgment. - **References section**: The part of a work that lists its cited sources. ### Remember Borrowed words or ideas need clear acknowledgment; a shared list of sources alone does not make a work plagiarized.
