Person A answer will use 135 words of the essay to answer the case study, Person B will answer the same case study questions using the other 135 words. However, there cannot be similarity on the answers. The answer must be the same but the words used have to be totally different. Remember that two different people are writing the two answers, so the writing can’t be the same.
