Question

compare the student text with the source.
source: michael burgan, breaker boys, page 5. published by compass point books, 2010:

the boys were mostly unknown outside their small hometowns. but the camera
of lewis hine helped change that.

student text:

using his camera, photographer lewis hine revealed the plight of young boys
working in coal mines.

is the student text plagiarized?

no, it is not plagiarized.

yes, because it fails to cite the source.

yes, because it fails to use quotation marks and fails to cite the source.

Explanation:

Plagiarism involves using someone else's work (ideas, words) without proper attribution. The source says Lewis Hine's camera helped change the boys' unknown status. The student text explains Hine revealed the boys' plight (a new way of expressing, not copying words) and doesn't copy the source's wording. Also, the student's idea about revealing plight is a different (though related) interpretation, not a direct copy, so no plagiarism.

Answer:

No, it is not plagiarized.
