question 15 (2.5 points)
which of the following is not considered plagiarism?
paraphrasing someone elses work without a citation
reusing an old assignment without permission
using common knowledge without citation
citing a source you didnt use

Explanation:

• First Question: Plagiarism in a professional setting is unethical. When one plagiarizes, they are presenting someone else's work as their own. This leads to a loss of credibility or reputation because colleagues, clients, or employers expect original and honest work. Options like "Easier time completing work tasks" (plagiarism may seem like a shortcut but is unethical and can lead to problems), "Increased chance of promotion" (unlikely as it shows lack of integrity), and "Job satisfaction" (not a consequence of plagiarism) are incorrect.
• Second Question: Plagiarism involves using others' work without proper attribution. Paraphrasing without citation (still using someone else's ideas without credit), reusing an old assignment without permission (self - plagiarism in some cases), and citing a source you didn't use (false citation) are forms of plagiarism. Using common knowledge (information widely known, e.g., "the sun rises in the east") without citation is not plagiarism as it doesn't require attribution.

Answer:

• First Question: Loss of credibility or reputation
• Second Question: Using common knowledge without citation
