Directions: Read the following passage. Use context to determine the
meaning of plagiarice and paraphrase.
“Tive heard that story before, Ben," said his friend Bob. "It's exactly the
same as the movie I saw last week! Didn't you tell me that you wrote it?" "I didn't
mean to plagiarize," said Ben. "Why don't you try paraphrasing some of the
dialogue?" suggested Bob. “And maybe you could add some new characters or
change the setting, too. Then it would be more your own."
Plagiarize means

alone =having no one else present.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
