Which of the following is an example of accidental plagiarism?

A thesis statement is mostly used in the introduction to guide the reader on what to expect in the rest of the essay.

The subject is in plural “tennis balls” and is supported by a plural verb “roll” which makes D the correct use of subject-verb agreement.

Conclusions are a restatement of the argument to help the reader reflect back on what they have already read.

Inter in this case means “in between”

likewiseis used when you are comparing two methods, states, or situations and saying that they are similar.

The use of “you” is what describes the second-person narrative voice and A is the correct answer since others use the first and third-person.

As the word states, “circum” is around, which is also descriptive of the word circumference, which shows the area around something.

The statement used in Dis more correct as it explains the connection between the action in the sentence and the resulting outcome.
It also applies expanded form of sentences making it more formal.

Having commas that separate the additional information “which had been parked on a steep hill” is the most correct use of the punctuation because it shows that the sentence can do without that piece of information. The additional information is only used to add more details but can still be excluded and that is why it is enclosed in commas.

Choice B is the correct answer because it contains a dangling modifier, which is a type of misplaced modifier.

A dangling modifier occurs when a modifying phrase or clause in a sentence does not clearly and logically modify any specific word or phrase in the sentence. It "dangles" without a clear connection to the intended subject.

In Choice B, the phrase "that needed paint" is the dangling modifier. It is intended to modify either the old truck or the garage, but it is not clear which one. The sentence structure suggests that the truck is the one that needs paint, but the modifier is placed immediately after the word "garage," creating confusion.
