Is it considered plagiarism if I copy stuff from the prompt that I was given? (Such as using a sentence from the prompt but adding on to it or changing some of the wording)

It would still be considered plagiarism because it involves the author's words and ideas. just say that the prompt quoted or the author said or something along those lines & then the quote " ......................................................"

If you are using a sentence from the passage given, you have to put it in quotes and mention which paragraph it’s from.

For example:

“Sentence from prompt” (paragraph 1)

Hope this helps
