Explanation:

Analyze the source text and the first student writing sample

The source text describes Proctor's Ledge as "an inconspicuous spot: a rocky outcropping next to a Walgreens pharmacy, in the midst of a quiet residential neighborhood."
The first student writing sample states: "It is in a weird area: a rocky outcropping near Walgreens, in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. Researchers now know that Proctor's Ledge was one of the most deadly spots of Salem..."
This sample closely mirrors the structure, unique phrasing, and flow of the original source text with only minor word substitutions (e.g., "weird area" instead of "inconspicuous spot", "near Walgreens" instead of "next to a Walgreens pharmacy"). This is a classic example of paraphrased plagiarism, where the writer keeps the original structure and ideas without proper citation or genuine rewriting.

Analyze the second student writing sample

The second student writing sample states: "By mapping the topography surrounding Proctor's Ledge, researchers can see... Historian Gist, 'Anything that is spatial can be leveraged using GIS, and it can contribute to research in history, religious studies, politics, environmental science, architecture and many other disciplines.'*1"
This sample uses a direct quote from Gist but includes a footnote marker ("*1") at the end of the sentence. Because it properly attributes the source material using a citation marker, it is classified as "Not Plagiarism - Citation has a Footnote Number."

Analyze the third student writing sample

The third student writing sample states: "Proctor's Ledge was historically significant as the site of all 19 executions during the Salem Witch Trials. Modern scholars are using GIS to better understand how the landscape would have appeared at the time."
This sample synthesizes the main historical facts (the 19 executions, which is a well-known historical statistic) and summarizes the research purpose in the student's own original words and structure. It does not copy the sentence structures or unique phrasing of the source. Therefore, this is "Not Plagiarism - Original paraphrasing and summary with well known statistic."

Analyze the fourth student writing sample

The fourth student writing sample states: "It's an inconspicuous spot: a rocky outcropping next to a Walgreens pharmacy, in the midst of a quiet residential neighborhood. Researchers now know that Proctor's Ledge was one of the most conspicuous spots in Salem..."
This sample copies the source text word-for-word (verbatim) without quotation marks or citation. This is a clear case of "Plagiarism - Verbatim."
