UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

They generate similarity reports that help educators judge whether proper citation has been used. These tools support academic honesty in an ICT rich environment. Therefore, they are rightly called plagiarism detection tools.

Option A is correct because their primary purpose is to detect possible plagiarism by highlighting overlapping text segments.

Option C:
Option C, compression, tools focus on reducing file sizes and are unrelated to text originality.

Option D:
Option D, formatting, tools manage layout and style of documents, not their originality.
