Answer:

Word-for-word.

Step-by-step explanation:

Word for word plagiarism is seen to be an unethical form of writing where the said student or researcher is seen to copy a fellow researchers works verbatim and particularly word for word with also quotation marks too. In as much as this is a bad form for writers, people are always seen to commit themselves in still doing it. This can cause a lawsuit in some places depending on the researcher whose work is been stolen/copied.

In all, it is been tagged an act of intellectual dishonesty which comes with uneasy consequences when it is done to a wrong person; a plagiarized assignment may lead to a failing grade, a suspension, or an expulsion.
