Oscar: I have been accused of plagiarizing the work of Ethel Myers in my recent article. But that accusation is unwarranted. Although I admit I used passages from Myers’s book without attribution, Myers gave me permission in private correspondence to do so.
Millie: Myers cannot give you permission to plagiarize. Plagiarism is wrong, not only because it violates author’s rights to their own words, but also because it misleads readers: it is fundamentally a type of lie. A lie is no less a lie if another person agrees to the deception.
Which of the following principles, if established, would justify Oscar’s judgment?
(A) A writer has no right to quote passage from another published source if the author of that other source has not granted the writer permission to do so.
(B) The writer of an article must cite the source of all passages that were not written by that writer if those passages are more than a few sentences long.
(C) Plagiarism is never justified, but writers are justified in occasionally quoting without attribution the work of other writers if the work quoted has not been published.
(D) An author is entitled to quote freely without attribution the work of a writer if that writer relinquishes his or her exclusive right to the material.
(E) Authors are entitled to quote without attribution passages that they themselves have written and published in other books or articles.

Option (A) says "If no permission, no right to quote."
This does NOT imply "if permission, then right to quote".
If A, then B
implies
- A leads to B
- Not B leads to not A (here it means "if there is right to quote, it means there is permission")
It does not imply 'Not A leads to Not B'.

Correct answer: D
(A): Incorrect. (A) restates the accusation against Oscar. However, (A) does not provide a justification for Oscar's actions in this particular case (in which Oscar received permission to rely on Myers' passages without attribution).
(B): Incorrect. (B), like (A), restates the accusation against Oscar. Further, we do not know the exact nature of the material that Oscar used, e.g. whether it was more than a few sentences long.
(C): Incorrect. Out of scope: Meyers' work was published, so (C) does not apply.
(D): Correct. Oscar claims that Meyers has relinquished her exclusive right to the article; therefore, under (D), Oscar would be justified to quote her freely without attribution.
(E): Incorrect. Out of scope: (E) concerns "self-plagiarization" -- an author quoting him or herself without attribution -- but in this case Oscar is quoting another author without attribution.
