Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.55 Paraphrase versus Quote and Avoid Plagiarism skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Source excerpt: "The philosopher distinguishes 'freedom from' harm and 'freedom to' act" (Ortiz 9).

Which paraphrase best keeps both categories clear?

AOrtiz separates the idea of being protected from harm from the idea of having the ability to do things (9).

BFreedom means doing anything you want (Ortiz 9).

COrtiz says freedom only matters when people can act (9).

DOrtiz says freedom is the same as safety (9).

Solution & Explanation:Option A preserves the two-part distinction by restating each type of freedom in new words while keeping the meaning.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Student uses this Works Cited entry for a YouTube video: Lee, Arjun. "Why We Forget." YouTube, uploaded by MindMinute, 6 June 2021, www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx. In the essay, the student quotes a specific line at 2:15 in the video.

Which in-text citation best fits MLA style for a quoted moment from the video?

A(Lee 2:15)

B(2:15 Lee)

C(MindMinute 2:15)

D(Lee "Why We Forget" 2:15)

Solution & Explanation:When citing a time stamp, MLA commonly uses the author/creator’s name and the time. Since the creator listed is Lee, Option A is the best match.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Student writes: Many animals migrate because they are looking for warmer temperatures (Gibson 77). Original source says: "Many animals migrate to reach breeding grounds, and temperature is only one factor" (Gibson 77).

Which critique is best?

AThe student used a citation, so the sentence is automatically correct.

BThe student should remove the citation because it is a paraphrase.

CThe paraphrase is incomplete and slightly misleading because it turns one factor into the only reason and omits breeding grounds.

DThe student should put the entire source in quotation marks instead.

Solution & Explanation:Faithful paraphrasing requires keeping key ideas. The student left out the main purpose (breeding grounds) and overstated temperature as the reason.
