If you are caught plagiarizing, you can send us an explanation saying, "I didn't know" or "It was a mistake," and we will not consider you to have actually plagiarized.

This question is incomplete; here is the complete question:

If you are caught plagiarizing, you can send us an explanation saying, "I didn't know" or "It was a mistake," and we will not consider you to have actually plagiarized.

A. True

B. False

The correct answer is B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

Plagiarism, which occurs if you do not cite sources or present ideas of other authors as your own, is not only morally incorrect but it is considered as a serious infraction. Due to this, in schools, colleges and other universities plagiarizing leads to sanctions such as negative grades and even suspension. Indeed, due to this, in most cases, plagiarism leads to a negative consequence, and using excuses such as "I didn't know" or "It was a mistake" will not prevent institutions from knowing you plagiarized or from imposing sanctions. Thus, the correct answer is False.
