49) Read the following passage carefully, and select the most appropriate answer

project, how can a teacher trust any of the student’s work? Plagiarism undermines the relationship between teachers and
students, turning teachers into detectives instead of mentors, fostering suspicion instead of trust, and making it difficult for
learning to take place. Students who plagiarize deprive themselves of the knowledge they would have gained if they had
done their own writing. Plagiarism also can undermine public trust in educational institutions, if students are routinely
allowed to pass courses and receive diplomas without doing the required work.
