Question

compare the student text with the source.
source: stephen m. tomecek, what a great idea! inventions that changed the world, page 14. published by scholastic, 2003:
by 30,000 years ago, small figurines carved out of bone, stone, and ivory had become widespread. some of the most common kinds of these minisculptures were \venus figures\ showing what appear to be women dressed in simple clothes.
student text:
around 30,000 years ago, early artists were carving small figurines; figurines of women were quite common.
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:

The student rephrased the core information from the source text using their own wording, rather than copying phrases directly without attribution. They did not use the source's exact sentences, so quotation marks are not required, and the rephrased content constitutes proper paraphrasing without plagiarism.

Answer:

No, it is not plagiarized.
