An author commits plagiarism when references are clearly cited. almost no original work is done on the paper. the author's name is mentioned and directions are given for location of the quote/paraphrase. paraphrased material is credited.

Answers

Answer: almost no original work is done on the paper

Plagiarism is an unethical practice wherein you take or use someone's work, writing, song and idea and taking it as your own without acknowledging the original source of the information. It is a clear act of fraud by stealing someone else's literary works. Providing a list or sources used in a bibliography is not enough because you need to cite and acknowledge the original source of information even within the text you are making or else you are clearly commiting plagiarism.

Read this excerpt from the prologue of Romeo and Juliet.Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

In addition to introducing two families in the play, this excerpt helps

describe the children of the families.
build interest about what happens in the story.
detail the part of Verona where the action takes place.
foreshadow who dies at the end of the story.

Answers

build interest about what happens in the story. This is the correct answer.

The choir introduces the readers to the story.  The reader can put these questions to himself / herself : What will make the two households get together?; if the two families are dignified, Why will they feel hatred and Why will they fight?; Why will they get to the point of killing someone? These questions may be answered through the play.

These options are not right:

-describe the children of the families ( The households' feelings are mentioned).

-detail the part of Verona where the action takes place. ( This is part of the setting).

-foreshadow who dies at the end of the story.( There will be tragic deaths but they do not say who will die).

Build interest about what happens in the story.
