Step-by-step explanation:

Plagiarism can be defined as the act of representing or using an author's work, ideas, thoughts, language, or expressions without their consent, acknowledgement or authorization.

This ultimately implies that, plagiarism is an illegal act of presenting another author's intellectual work or copyrighted items by using their ideas, thoughts, language or expressions, word for word without authorization or permission from the original author.

Improper citation is a form of plagiarism that involves an author failing to provide an in-text reference or citation of the original author appropriately.

Citations are references or links to all of the sources from which an author, writer, or researcher got his or her information from. The two types of citation are;

I. Works-cited list: it is the same thing as a reference and are placed at the end of a literary work.

II. In-text citations: they are inserted into the body of a literary work i.e within the body of the texts using parenthesis.

Hence, the correct example of citation for a book is, Austen, Jane. Pride and Prejudice. New York: Modern Library, 1995. Print.
