Question
Which of the following examples does not plagiarize the J. Dettweiler excerpt
below?
When the glass strikes the floor, a very large force is produced at the point
where the glass hits the ground. This force spreads rapidly throughout the
glass, causing it to compress. This means that the spaces between the
molecules that make up the glass become smaller. As a result, the bonds
between these molecules start to weaken. That's when the glass shatters.
• A. A glass breaks when it strikes a hard surface because the force
compresses the space between molecules, causing the bonds
between them to weaken.
• B. When the glass strikes the floor, a very large force is made where
the glass hits the ground. This force spreads rapidly, causing it to
compress.
• C. A glass breaks when it strikes a hard surface because the force
compresses the space between molecules, causing the bonds
between them to weaken (Dettweiler 14).
D. As a result, the bonds between these molecules start to weaken.
