Question

which of the following steps would not be part of a checklist for avoiding plagiarism.
when you write a paper, use internal citations for all quotations, paraphrases, and summaries. most internal citations include the authors name and the page number in parentheses.
when you refer to someone elses ideas, you have to give that person credit. that is not true when you paraphrase or summarize another authors ideas. when you take someone elses idea and make it your own, you are creating something original.
keep good notes about the sources you use. include the title of the publication, the author, and the page number. also make a note of the publisher, the city of publication, and the year of publication.
as you research your paper, carefully mark exact quotations in your notes. use quotation marks and note the source. otherwise, when you start writing, you might forget that the words belong to someone else.

Explanation:

Plagiarism is using others' work without proper credit. Citing quotes, paraphrases, summaries (first option) is correct. Keeping source notes (third option) helps avoid plagiarism. Marking quotes in notes (fourth option) is good. But the second option is wrong. Paraphrasing/summarizing also needs credit. Taking others' ideas and presenting as original is plagiarism.

Answer:

The second option (When you refer to someone else's ideas... creating something original) is not part of the checklist.
