Luis is writing a paper on the French Revolution. He copies a sentence directly from his textbook:

“The storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, became a symbol of the French people’s resistance to tyranny.”

He adds a parenthetical citation (Patton, p. 45) at the end, but he does not put the sentence in quotation marks. Did Luis plagiarize? Why or why not?

Yes, he plagiarized. Even though he gave a citation, he did not use quotation marks for the exact words. Without quotation marks, it looks like his own writing — which is plagiarism.
