15. Which of the following is the best way to incorporate into your paper—without plagiarism--these statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau (group author, no acronyms) in 2014 on page 2 plus an analysis of the statistics? The original text verbatim (word for word) is in blue below: (APA Module Part IV)
Workers 18 and over with a four-year college degree earn an average of $51,000 a year, while those with a high school diploma earn $28,000.
a. You earn about $23,000 more (U.S. Census Bureau, 2014, p. 2) if you have a college degree.
b. Workers 18 and over with a four-year degree earn an average of $51,000 a year, but those with a high school diploma earn $28,000 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2014). The difference of $23,000 per year is substantial, and deserving of consideration when deciding whether to attend college.
c. Adults in the workforce whose formal education ended with a high school diploma took home an average of $28,000; workers 18 and over with a four-year college degree earn an average of $51,000 a year (U.S. Census Bureau, 2014). The difference of $23,000 per year is substantial, and deserving of consideration when deciding whether to attend college.
d. None of the above are correct.
e. All of the above are correct.
16. Which of the following is correct regarding Turnitin Originality Reports? (APA Module Part IV)
a. The higher the percentage, the more likely it is that the paper contains no errors.
b. The lower the percentage, the more likely it is that the paper contains many errors.
c. There is no “safe” percentage; a paper that earns a 0% Originality Report can contain plagiarism.
d. Turnitin flags matching wording from the Internet or student papers; it also flags missing or incorrect in-text citations.
e. Both a. and c. are correct.
17. What should do if your Turnitin Report you submitted 24 hours before the deadline shows several flagged areas and 8% non-originality? (APA Module Part IV)
a. Leave it; you’re good since 8% is nothing to worry about.
b. Correct the flagged areas and re-submit as soon as possible; if your revised Turnitin Originality Report shows 0% and no flagged areas, it’s an improvement.
c. There is nothing you can do; you will be docked points for the flagged areas regardless of whether you submit a revised paper.
d. Flagged areas show a missing or incorrect citation; correct them as soon as possible and resubmit.
e. All of the above are correct.

Explanation / Answer
15. c. . Adults in the workforce whose formal education ended with a high school diploma took home an average of $28,000; workers 18 and over with a four-year college degree earn an average of $51,000 a year (U.S. Census Bureau, 2014). The difference of $23,000 per year is substantial, and deserving of consideration when deciding whether to attend college.
In this case the statement is paraphrased and changed accordingly and keeping the meaning intact, discarding the risk of plagiarism.
16. d. Turnitin flags matching wording from the Internet or student papers; it also flags missing or incorrect in-text citations.
The Turnitin flags and reports and identifies matching words present and even point out the issues in citations.
17. a. Leave it; you’re good since 8% is nothing to worry about.
The acceptable limit is 15% although if there is a block of continuous similarity it may be considered as plaigarism but actually there is no other option left as it takes minimum 24 hours for submission and hence the change may not be reflected as well.
18. e. All of the above are plagiarized
In the first option it is totally copied from the text, in the second option the statement is not in quotes and in the third option there is no citation of the text.
