Answer 1

Answer:

Tanya should have planned better, but she isn't guilty of plagiarism.

Answer 2

Answer:

a. Tanya is guilty of global plagiarism. Tanya is guilty of patchwork plagiarism.

Explanation:

As she used Verbatim, which means word by word, or using the exact same words, as her friend in the speech, she is guilty of global plagiarism which basically means using someone´s entire different work and credit it as their own, and patchwork plagiarism is to take someone´s entire work and add it into one of our one or into someonelse´s work.
