Answer 1

D) About 15 percent of people with dyslexia also have ADHD and 35 percent of those with ADHD have dyslexia.

Step-by-step explanation:

About 15 percent of people with dyslexia also have ADHD and 35 percent of those with ADHD have dyslexia. This sentence is an example of plagiarism because it uses the exact wording from the text without giving credit to the source. The other sentences are examples of paraphrase because they do not use the exact wording of the text.

Answer 2

D. I doubt that statistic is common knowledge and unless you're delivering that information with your own words and citing the source in the bibliography, that would be an example of plagiarism in absence of an in-text citation. Hope this helped.
