Question

compare the student text with the source.
source: erin blakemore, \four people have died on everest in as many days.\ published on smithsonian.com, 2016:
given the dangers on the mountain—and the toll humans take on its once-pristine slopes—perhaps its time to reconsider whether people should summit everest at all.
student text:
to protect both people and everest, perhaps the mountain should be made off-limits to climbers.
is the student text plagiarized?
no, it is not plagiarized.
yes, because it fails to use quotation marks.

Explanation:

The student text presents the same idea as the source (restricting Everest access) but uses different wording. It doesn't directly quote the source, so quotation marks aren't needed. Since it's a paraphrase without proper citation (but the question only asks about quotation marks), the key is that lack of quotation marks here doesn't make it plagiarized as it's not a direct quote.

Answer:

No, it is not plagiarized.
