Question

Match List-I with List-II \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{List-I (Type of Plagiarism)} & \textbf{List-II (Features)} \\ \hline (A)\ \text{Find-Replace} & (I)\ \text{Changing keywords} \\ (B)\ \text{Remix} & (II)\ \text{Copying without citations} \\ (C)\ \text{Recycle} & (III)\ \text{Copying word for word} \\ (D)\ \text{Clone} & (IV)\ \text{Paraphrases} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)

Hint:

Associate the names with the actions: "Clone" is an exact copy. "Find-Replace" is about changing words. "Remix" is mixing different pieces together. "Recycle" is reusing old material.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Define each type of plagiarism in List-I. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Find-Replace: A type of plagiarism where the author uses a thesaurus or search-and-replace function to change keywords and essential phrases while keeping the original sentence structure.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Remix: This involves mixing paraphrased content from multiple sources to make it look like new work.} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Recycle (Self-Plagiarism): Reusing one's own previous work without proper citation.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Clone: Submitting another's work, word-for-word, as one's own.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 2: Match the definitions to the features in List-II. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Find-Replace directly matches (I) Changing keywords.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Remix, which involves mixing sources, matches well with (IV) Paraphrases (from multiple sources).} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Recycle, reusing one's own work, is a form of (II) Copying without citations (to the original work).} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Clone is the exact definition of (III) Copying word for word.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 3: Form the correct combination. The correct matching is A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III.
