"In most situations, the first-born male has priority to inherit the chieftainship (primogeniture)" (Nowak & Laird, 2010, p. 177).
Suppose you write the following in a post/paper: In most cases, the first-born male has priority to inherit the chieftainship (Nowak & Laird, 2010). You have changed one word and left out one word. Is this acceptable? (Points : 1)
No. The phrasing is too close, even if you include a citation. You should change the phrasing completely or include the original quotation with quotation marks and a citation with a page number.
Yes, it is okay as is
See your last post.

When paraphrasing or summarizing someone else's work, it is important to thoroughly rephrase the information in your own words. Simply changing one or two words and omitting others is not sufficient, as it can still be seen as too close to the original text and may be considered plagiarism.
To ensure that you appropriately use and cite the work of others, you should either rephrase the information completely in your own words or use the original quotation with quotation marks and provide a proper citation, including the author(s) and publication year, and if applicable, the page number where the information can be found.
In this case, since you are directly quoting Nowak and Laird's work, you should include the original quotation with quotation marks, a citation with the authors' names and publication year, and the page number where the information was found.
