Question

compare the student text with the source.
source: carolyn williams, \a natural label on food means next to nothing. heres why.\
published on cookinglight.com, 2016:
heres the situation:
atural\ on food doesnt mean much. in fact,
atural\
really guarantees little to nothing about a foods quality, ingredients, or how it
was grown or raised—meaning the food could (or could not) contain artificial
ingredients, gmos, chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics.
student text:
williams asserts that just because a food is labeled
atural,\ that doesnt
necessarily mean that it is free of antibiotics, chemicals, hormones, gmos, or
artificial ingredients.
is the student text plagiarized?
no, it is not plagiarized.
yes, because it fails to use quotation marks.
yes, because it fails to use quotation marks and fails to cite the source.

Explanation:

The student text paraphrases the source content. It correctly attributes the idea to Williams (citing the source author) and does not use direct quotes (so quotation marks are not needed as it's a paraphrase, not a direct quote).

Answer:

No, it is not plagiarized.
