Answer
The correct answers are:* **Yes, because he uses exact content from the website to write his summary.** Using the exact wording from a source without quotation marks and a citation constitutes plagiarism, even if the overall structure is different.* **Yes, because he does not cite the website as a source.** Even if Robert paraphrased the content, he would still need to cite the SBA website as his source. Since he doesn't mention the SBA at all, he's presenting their work as his own.
