Which of the following sentences was plagiarized from the passage shown above?

A.

The bell towers of Notre-Dame were almost melted down during the French Revolution.

B.

The cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris was built from 1163 until its completion in 1345 (Patel 65).

C.

Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, written in 1831, is set in Notre-Dame de Paris (Patel 65).

D.

People can still walk up the stairs to one of the bell towers and take in an amazing view of the city.

Answer 1

Answer:C.

Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, written in 1831, is set in Notre-Dame de Paris (Patel 65).

The reason why this is the answer is because it clearly states the date it was written about the main topic of the passage.

Answer 2

D. People can still walk up the stairs to one of the bell towers and take in an amazing view of the city.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually very easy, check it out: Answers B and C have citations included at the end of the material ("Patel 65"), meaning that those sentences have properly displayed a source for the content they incorporate. So, they are not plagiarized. And answer A is a completely unique sentence that takes no words from the exemplified text. Answer D however, takes text directly from the example almost word-for-word without a source citation. Though the author attempted to switch out the word "astonishing" for "amazing," that is one difference of three minimum to avoid plagiarism. So, it has been plagiarized.
