Answer

Brief Explanations:

Plagiarism occurs when someone uses another's work without proper attribution. Joseph took a portion of a press release and included it in his essay without indicating it's from a press release (just presenting it as his own content). Michael used quotation marks and included the reviewer's name (proper citation), Irene noted details of scientific articles and put them in reference page (proper citation), Ursula paraphrased a speech (if paraphrased correctly and source is clear - here prime minister's name is followed in parentheses which is a form of citation).

Answer:

B. Joseph is writing an essay about the Olympics. He takes a portion of a press release from the women's Olympic figure skating team and includes it in his introduction in quotation marks.
