compare the student text with the source. source: smithsonian institution, \the first life on earth.\ published on smithsonian national museum of natural history. studies of genetic material indicate that a living group of single - celled organisms called archaea may share many features with early life on earth. many archaea now live in hot springs, deep - sea vents, saline water, and other harsh environments. student text: the single - celled organisms known as archaea, which today \live in hot springs, deep - sea vents, saline water, and other harsh environments,\ have many features in common with the first organisms that lived on earth (smithsonian institution). is the student text plagiarized? no, it is not plagiarized. yes, because it fails to use quotation marks. yes, because it fails to cite the source. yes, because it fails to use quotation marks and fails to cite the source.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine if the student text is plagiarized, we analyze:

  1. Citation: The student includes "(Smithsonian Institution)" to cite the source.
  2. Quotation Marks: The student uses quotation marks around the phrase describing where Archaea live ("live in hot springs, deep - sea vents, saline water, and other harsh environments").
  3. Paraphrasing: The student rephrases the original information (about Archaea sharing features with early life on Earth and their habitats) while giving credit to the source and using quotation marks for the directly borrowed phrase. Since proper citation and appropriate use of quotation marks (for the direct phrase) are present, and the rest is paraphrased, the text is not plagiarized.

Answer:

No, it is not plagiarized.
