#5 - Oscar: I have been accused of plagiarizing the work of

Thank you so much, Luke! This clears things up for me

Hello,

I read (A) as, no right -> no permission, or permission -> right. My question is, why is permission -> right wrong? That, to me, says, first she gave him permission and second he had the right. I don't see how this is a mistaken reversal or mistaken negation, since I also don't see what's wrong with either "permission" or "right" being in the sufficient place.

Thank you.

Hey Kristina,

Answer choice (A) reiterates that if you don't have permission, you have no right to essentially plagarize. But that's not the right answer, because it doesn't address Oscar's justification for why he's not in the wrong! He did get permission - so answer choice (A) really doesn't apply to him at all.

Hope that helps!
