STUDENT VERSION
The philosophical position known as constructivism views knowledge as a human construction.

Instead, human knowledge, whether the bodies of content in public disciplines (such as mathematics or sociology) or knowledge of the individual learner; is a human construction.

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

(A) Word-for-Word plagiarism
(B) Paraphrasing plagiarism
(C) This is not plagiarism

Answer 1

This is an example of Paraphrasing plagiarism

Step-by-step explanation:

This two versions are quite similar, the student's version takes sentences from the original version and place them in the same way, and even when there are some small pieces of information omitted or little changes in punctuation, it does not present the correct use of paraphrasing, there are reference but the lines are not written between quotation marks.
