Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine plagiarism, we check if the student properly attributes and quotes. The student cites the source (Burns 3) and rephrases the information (defining flotsam/jetsam as garbage, using different wording for "made a name" etc.). They also use quotation marks for the "leading expert..." phrase. So it's not plagiarized. The other options are wrong: the student does cite the source and uses quotation marks where needed.

Answer:

No, it is not plagiarized.
