For two years, Janice volunteered for the local Red Cross. When preparing a speech for her class, Janice found a "speaker's bank" of speech manuscripts on the Red Cross Web site. Janice chose a speech from the bank; she was familiar with all the data in that speech, and the document cited the sources of all data. In class, Janice presented the speech as her own. Is Janice guilty of plagiarism?

a. No, because Janice worked at the Red Cross, and the material in the "speaker's bank" was readily available

b. No, because the speech was well written and it cited its sources

c. Yes, of the global type

d. Yes, of the incremental type
