• Which of the following statements about plagiarism is most accurate?

• • It is so easy to "copy and paste" from the internet that everyone does it nowadays. If a proper reference is given, where is the harm in that?

• • How can we say for sure where our own ideas come from exactly? If we tried to give a reference for everything we could never hope to succeed.

• • Plagiarism is such an awful crime that those found guilty should be obliged to wear a scarlet "P" on their clothing.
