Your roommate has finished writing a paper, and asks you to read it and provide comments. In the paper, your roommate has used some content from Discover Magazine Online. You ask to read the original source to verify whether your roommate has paraphrased properly, or committed plagiarism. Original source material: In recent years neuroscientists have begun to catalog some fascinating differences between average brains and the brains of great athletes. Good genes may account for some of the differences in ability, but even the most genetically well-endowed prodigy clearly needs practice—lots of it—to develop the brain of an athlete. As soon as someone starts to practice a new sport, his brain begins to change, and the changes continue for years. Scientists at the University of Regensburg in Germany documented the process by scanning people as they learned how to juggle. After a week, the jugglers were already developing extra gray matter in some brain areas. Their brains continued to change for months, the scientists found. Your roommate wrote: We have long known the many physical benefits of sport. Through research, brain scientists have recently proved that the brain function of great athletes differs from that of non-athletes. Scientists in Germany have proved that learning a sport benefits brain development. In other words, practicing a new sport actually encourages the brain to develop extra gray matter. So, it's not just good genetics that makes a great athlete but the brain being challenged to learn and respond to physical challenges. Even learning a "sport" as simple as juggling can help develop extra gray matter over time. This certainly demonstrates the profound benefits of practicing a sport. A. This is an example of plagiarism. B. Paraphrased correctly - changed the wording to be different from original. C. Paraphrased correctly - true to the source and appropriately reworded and cited. D. Paraphrased correctly - there's no need to cite the article since it's free online. E. Paraphrased incorrectly - what your roommate wrote inappropriately contradicts the original.

C. Paraphrased correctly - true to the source and appropriately reworded and cited.
