Which of these situations qualify as plagiarism?

Alan submitted a paper written by someone else that he found online.
Shane included universal facts in his paper and didn't add citations.
Lily paraphrased information from various sources and added citations.
Sam used the wrong style to format his in-text citations and bibliography.
Karen forgot to cite the sources she quoted in her paper.

Answer 1

Answer: It’s Alan

Step-by-step explanation:

Plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s ideas and pasting them off as their own. Even though someone like Karen may have forgotten to add citations, reading her essay would make it very clear that she is adding in her own ideas; she just forgot to add in the sources of which she tried to find information from. Alan didn’t do any work and tried to pass off the whole essay as his own. He did so on purpose too.
