question 5 (2.5 points)
becky is creating a presentation for a staff meeting about using a new medical
device. she finds a detailed instruction manual online and copies sections of it into
the presentation without crediting the original source. in order to avoid plagiarizing,
what should becky do?

only mention using outside sources to people who ask.

cite the source in the presentation and on the slides.

vaguely mention she did research on the internet but not provide specific
sources.

list google as a reference at the end of her presentation.

Explanation:

To avoid plagiarism, one must give credit to the original source. Option 1 (only mention to those who ask) doesn't properly credit. Option 3 (vague mention) also doesn't cite the specific source. Option 4 (list Google) is incorrect as Google is a search engine, not the original source. Option 2 (cite the source in the presentation and on slides) is the correct way to attribute the borrowed content.

Answer:

B. Cite the source in the presentation and on the slides.
