ANSWER THE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY! DON'T COPY AND PASTE FROM ANOTHER SUBMISSION BECAUSE IT'S WRONG.

Assume that you are writing about green hotels and eco-friendly meetings. You have access to the following word-for-word passages from two sources. These passages will be the basis of the exercises.

Stewart, J. (2012). The greening of hotels. New York: Williams-Anderson Group.

Most hotel executives have recognized that the demand for greener hotels has reached a tipping point. They expect a quickly accelerating demand for greening in all dimensions of hotels: energy usage, carbon emission, impact on local environments, and water consumption. As one executive told me, "The current operations model simply won't work any longer. We've got to adapt to shifting demands, and do it within three to five years. Or, we're toast." (from page 14)

Mendez, E. (2011). Marketing eco-friendly meetings. San Francisco: Finch & Sons Publishing.

Our research shows that 20 percent of conference attendees expect eco-friendly meetings. But, that doesn't tell the story, and any convention center, hotel, or other conference host that thinks the demand for green conferences will not become a significant share of the market is delusional. From our research, here are the statistics that matter most: 75 percent of conference planners say their employers demand more eco-friendly meetings to reach CSR initiatives, and 60 percent of conference planners now believe eco-friendly conferences cost less. (from page 3)

3. Mendez (2011) has conducted research that shows 20 percent of conference attendees expect eco-friendly meetings. She also points out, however, the following statistics that matter most: 75 percent of conference planners say their employers demand more eco-friendly meetings to reach CSR initiatives, and 60 percent of conference planners now believe eco-friendly conferences cost less.

a. plagiarized; not paraphrasing sufficiently

b. plagiarized; not correctly acknowledging the source of ideas

c. not plagiarized

d. plagiarized; not correctly acknowledging direct quotations

4. Even though most conference attendees aren't concerned about eco-friendly meetings, the majority of conference planners expect eco-friendly meetings. In other words, those in charge of the planning and decision making expect eco-friendly meetings (Stewart, 2012).

a. not plagiarized

b. plagiarized; not paraphrasing sufficiently

c. plagiarized; not correctly acknowledging direct quotations

d. plagiarized; not acknowledging the source of ideas

5. Research has shown that about 20 percent of conference participants expect green meetings. However, that statistic doesn't really reflect market demand.

a. not plagiarized

b. plagiarized; not paraphrasing sufficiently

c. plagiarized; not acknowledging the source of ideas

6. With most hotel executives having recognized that the demand for green hotels has reached a tipping point, the supply of green hotels is likely to grow rapidly in the upcoming years (Stewart, 2012).

a. plagiarized; not acknowledging the source of ideas

b. plagiarized; not correctly acknowledging the source of ideas

c. plagiarized; not paraphrasing sufficiently

d. plagiarized; not correctly acknowledging direct quotations

e. not plagiarized

Answer 1

Accurate use of source material requires careful paraphrasing, proper quotations, and correct citations to avoid plagiarism. Each statement in the exercise has been evaluated on these criteria, with instances of incorrect citations or insufficient paraphrasing noted where present.

When incorporating source material into your own writing, it's essential to avoid plagiarism by adequately paraphrasing and correctly citing sources. Addressing the exercise's questions involves evaluating whether each example is plagiarized based on its adherence to proper academic standards, such as sufficient paraphrasing, correct quotation, and source acknowledgment. Below are evaluations of each statement from the exercise:

1. Plagiarized; not acknowledging the source of ideas - the statement closely mirrors the source without proper citation.
2. Plagiarized; not acknowledging the source of ideas - despite the citation, this statement doesn't accurately acknowledge the ideas from the correct source.
3. Not plagiarized - this is properly cited and provides attribution to the original ideas and direct quotes.
4. Plagiarized; not correctly acknowledging the source of ideas - the citation is attributed to the wrong source, and the statement doesn't match the cited information.
5. Not plagiarized - this shows correct paraphrasing and citation of the source material.
6. Not plagiarized - the information is properly paraphrased and correctly cited from the appropriate source.
