Explanation:

Plagiarism involves using someone else's work or words without proper attribution. The sentence "From an early age, Margaret Knight improved the world around her with her clever inventions" is directly copied from the original text, while the other sentences either add new information (about the time of inventors being mostly men, the specific inventions) or rephrase details (like "when she was just twelve" instead of "who was only twelve" in the original, but still with new content about the invention). So this copied sentence is the plagiarized one.

Answer:

From an early age, Margaret Knight improved the world around her with her clever inventions.
