Is This Plagiarism? Scenario 6 Feedback2
You are incorrect.
Even though Ji-yoo was trying to paraphrase the original source, what he wrote was too close to the original source. Remember, rearranging words in a sentence or merely using a synonym to substitute a word is not the correct way to paraphrase. If you can't think of a way to explain what the original source said in your own words, then quote the material properly (with quotation marks and a citation).
Here are all the words highlighted that are a word for word copy from the original source:

Countries will have to take stock of how they are doing in 2023 and every five years after that.
