Is acceptable because the voice of the author who is paraphrasing is likely to emerge even when only a few words from the original are changed. May constitute plagiarism because the paraphrased paragraph must be enclosed in quotation marks. Is acceptable because changing a word here or there and adding a citation is sufficient to always qualify as an appropriate paraphrase.

Solution

Paraphrasing another author's paragraph by changing only a few words in each sentence and then citing the author at the end of the paragraph may be considered plagiarism because the original material has not been significantly altered to be a proper paraphrase. It is not necessarily acceptable just because the voice of the author who is paraphrasing may emerge even when only a few words from the original are changed. It could still be seen as plagiarism because the paraphrased paragraph should be enclosed in quotation marks. It is not always acceptable just because a word is changed here or there and a citation is added, as this may not always qualify as an appropriate paraphrase.
