Areporter is covering a concert and needs to leave early because of a family emergency. she doesn’t want to let her publisher down, so she writes the concert review as if she were there the entire time, even mentioning the encore performance for which she wasn’t there. this reporter is fired due to question 8 options: libel slander plagiarism fabrication

This reporter after leaving the concert that she was supposed to report on for the entire event and then reported as though she was there the entire time would have been fired for fabrication.

Libel is a written defamation of someone's person (i.e. character, personality, or anything about them).

Slander is the verbal defamation.

Plagiarism would be if she completely copied another reporters report about the concert.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

just took the test;

argument: "it's time to wage a war against britain to secure american freedom."

claims: "america has tried every peaceful method available for seperating from england" & "the americans' petitions to the king have been turned away by him."
