For this question, a section from a submission from Fall 2023 research summary option is used. The student read and provided a summary of Monika Lisjak and Ordabayeva, Nailya (2023), “How Political Ideology Shapes Preferences for Observably Inferior Products,” Journal of Consumer Research, 49 (6), 1014–1031. This is text from the original article: “While consumers typically prefer observably superior products, there are situations in which some consumers may be open to observably inferior options. For example, prior literature suggests that when consumers encounter similarly priced options, some of which are inferior along  observable dimensions, they may attribute positive qualities to these inferior options along unobserved dimensions (Chernev and Carpenter 2001).” TurnItIn flagged the following text: “Consumer preferences typically lean toward observably superior products, but there are situations where observably inferior options gain consideration. Research in the past suggests that when consumers encounter similarly priced options, some of which are inferior in observable dimensions, they may attribute positive qualities to these inferior choices based on unobservable dimensions.”   Which of the following would have prevented this from being flagged for plagiarism?

I understand the official means of communication in this class will be through announcements and my Athens State University assigned email.  I will enter the course number AC322 followed by the CRN (listed in the syllabus) in the subject line of email correspondence sent to my professor.  I also agree to check Canvas announcements and email regularly for correspondence.

My hope is that this helps each of you avoid accidental plagiarism and AI use on any of your assignments in this class. If you don’t know whether something should be cited, what should you do?
