Question

as many observers have noted, there are arresting parallels between our age and the 1890s, the dawn of the progressive era. then as now, vast numbers of americans found themselves left behind economically.
student text:
in glastriss view, the financial struggle of americans during the progressive era is very similar to the struggle many americans are experiencing today.
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 ideas or words without proper attribution. The student text paraphrases Glastris's idea but does not cite the source. It also doesn't use quotation marks (though it's a paraphrase, not a direct quote, but still needs citation). However, the key here is that while it's a paraphrase, the lack of citation means it's using Glastris's idea without giving credit. But wait, actually, the first option: the student is summarizing/paraphrasing the idea, and if we consider that paraphrasing without citation is still plagiarism? Wait no, let's re - evaluate. The original source's idea is being presented as Glastris's view, so the student is attributing the idea to Glastris (saying "In Glastris's view..."), so they are giving credit for the idea. They are not directly quoting, so no need for quotation marks. And since they are attributing the idea to Glastris, the citation (like the in - text citation) – but the question is about whether it's plagiarized. If the student is stating it's Glastris's view and paraphrasing the content, and assuming that the context (like in an academic paper) would have a works cited later, but in this case, the student text as presented: the first option "No, it is not plagiarized" because they are attributing the idea to Glastris (by saying "In Glastris's view...") and paraphrasing the content, not using the exact words (so no need for quotation marks) and giving credit for the idea. Wait, but the options: let's check again. The student text says "In Glastris's view...", so they are attributing the idea to Glastris. They are paraphrasing the original idea (original: parallels between now and 1890s, Americans left behind economically; student: financial struggle of Americans during Progressive Era similar to today, in Glastris's view). So they are giving credit for the idea, and since it's a paraphrase (not a direct quote), no quotation marks are needed. So the student is not plagiarizing because they are attributing the idea to Glastris and paraphrasing (not copying words). So the correct answer is the first option.

Answer:

No, it is not plagiarized.
