Read this selection from page 23 of a journal article by Evans about the Tour de France. Which of these BEST avoids plagiarizing the article?
A Because of rising tension in Europe, cyclists from Germany, Italy, and Spain did not take part in the 1939 Tour de France. By 1940, the fighting of World War II had spread across Europe, and German forces controlled France. The Tour was not held during the years of German occupation because the race's organizers did not want to follow the Germans' rules. The Tour was held again in 1947 (journal article).
B According to Evans, the world was being affected as the threat of World War II spread across Europe in 1939. Although the Tour de France was held in 1939, German, Italian, and Spanish cyclists did not participate. The Tour de France was not held in 1940 because the Germans were occupying France and the organizers did not want to follow the Germans' rules for the race. The Tour de France was not held again until 1947 (23).
C The Tour de France was not held during World War II. The race was completed in 1939, but cyclists from Italy, Spain, and Germany did not participate. The organizers of the race declined to put it on in 1940 because the Germans had invaded France, and they did not want to follow the Germans' regulations. After World War II had ended, the Tour started again, and it was organized for the first time after the war in 1947 (Evans 23).
D In 1939, the world was being affected as the threat of war spread across Europe. The governments of Germany, Italy, and Spain did not allow cyclists from their countries to participate in that year's Tour de France. The Tour de France was not held in 1940 because the Germans had already invaded France, and the organizers did not want to follow the Germans' rules for the race. The Tour de France was not held again until 1947 (23).
