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.
Millie uses which one of the following argumentative strategies in contesting Oscar’s position?
(A) analyzing plagiarism in a way that undermines Oscar’s position
(B) invoking evidence to show that Oscar did quote Myers’ work without attribution
(C) challenging Oscar’s ability to quote Myers’ work without attribution
(D) citing a theory of rights that prohibits plagiarism and suggesting that Oscar is committed to that theory
(E) showing that Oscar’s admission demonstrates his lack of credibility

Quote:
(A) analyzing plagiarism in a way that undermines Oscar’s position Let's hold on for a moment.
The answer looks promising because isn't it Millie doing. Explaining plagiarism and undermining Oscar's position
(B) invoking evidence to show that Oscar did quote Myers’ work without attribution. I don't think there is any evidence that can be presented as Oscar says that he had permission in private correspondence
(C) challenging Oscar’s ability to quote Myers’ work without attribution No this is not what is done
(D) citing a theory of rights that prohibits plagiarism and suggesting that Oscar is committed to that theoryYes, the first part is that citing a theory of rights but is Oscar committed to that theory? It's the other way round
(E) showing that Oscar’s admission demonstrates his lack of credibility This is not what the intention is.
Please give a Kudo if you think answer helps you

(A) analyzing plagiarism in a way that undermines Oscar’s position - CORRECT.
(B) invoking evidence to show that Oscar did quote Myers’ work without attribution - WRONG. Irrelevant.
(C) challenging Oscar’s ability to quote Myers’ work without attribution - WRONG. None of that is ascertained.
(D) citing a theory of rights that prohibits plagiarism and suggesting that Oscar is committed to that theory - WRONG. Both aspects in red text are wrong.
(E) showing that Oscar’s admission demonstrates his lack of credibility - WRONG. Out of scope.
