student text:
john wilkes booth, the man who assassinated president abraham lincoln, \was willing to throw away fame, wealth, and a promising future for the cause of the confederacy.\
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 text uses direct, verbatim phrasing from the source within quotation marks, but it does not provide a citation for the source material (the author, title, page, or publication details). Even with quotation marks, failing to attribute the quoted content to its original source constitutes plagiarism.

Answer:

Yes, because it fails to cite the source.
