Assuming that there is an academic paper, written by Myung Hee Kim in 2013, and containing the text: Named Entity Recognition (NER) is important for extracting information from highly heterogeneous web documents. Most NER systems have been developed based on formal documents, but informal web documents usually contain noise, and incorrect and incomplete expressions. Which one of the following is not an example of plagiarism if it appears in your essay?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The task asks which option is not an example of plagiarism if it appears in your essay.
Option a: 'Named Entity Recognition (NER) is very important for extracting information from heterogeneous web documents.' This is a general statement about NER and does not attribute a verbatim or close paraphrase to a specific source. If you wrote this in your own words and did not copy from a source without attribution, it is not plagiarism. However, if you copied this exact wording from a source without citation, it would be plagiarism; the option as phrased does not specify attribution, so its status depends on how you used it in your essay.
Option b: 'Kim notes that Named Entity Recognition (NER) is important for extracting information from highly heterogeneous web documents.' Here you are attributing the idea to Kim (2013) in a paraphrased form. Paraphrasing an idea with proper attribution is generally acceptable and not plagiarism, provided the attribution accurately reflects the source and the wording isn’t too close to the original without quotation. Misattribution or extremely close paraphrase could still be problematic, but as stated this is typically considered acceptable.
Option c: 'Kim (2013) notes that "Named Entity Recognition (NER) is important for extracting information from highly heterogeneous web documents."' This is a direct quotation with quotation marks and includes the author and year (Kim, 2013). Direct quotes require quotation marks and citation; since it provides attribution (Kim, 2013) and uses the exact words from the source, this would not be considered plagiarism if properly cited in the essay. In fact, it exemplifies proper quotation with attribution.
Option d: 'Named Entity Recognition (NER) is important for extracting information from highly heterogeneous web documents.' This is essentially the same claim as in option a and, like a, would be non-plagiaristic only if it is your own original wording and properly sourced. Without quotation or citation, using a close replica of an author’s idea could constitute plagiarism, so the status depends on attribution.
Option e: 'All of the other answers are examples of plagiarism.' Since options a–d are not universally plagiarism in all contexts (they depend on attribution and wording), declaring all of them as plagiarism would be inaccurate. The statement itself would be false if any of a–d can be used without plagiarism with proper citation or as common knowledge.
In summary, option c is the one that appropriately uses a direct quotation with attribution, aligning with accepted scholarly practice and thus is not plagiarism when properly cited. The other options’ status depends on how they are used and cited in your essay, and they could be plagiaristic if copied without attribution or improperly paraphrased.
