    Now I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by 'duplicated' answers - do you mean 'copied' answers (i.e. Answers copied from some reference or from an other person's answer) or 'duplicated' as in, you've already posted the same answer somewhere else on Blurtit?

    As far as copying goes, I personally always give answers that are my own thoughts, my own reaction to the question, my own understanding of it, my own composition and my own wording, although if it's something scientific or factual I like to back it up by including a reference if possible.

    I personally believe that is the best approach, and I think it is obvious in some other peoples' answers to questions that they have copied out of some reference book and that sometimes they don't even understand the question.

    As far as duplication goes, as I've said before - if you find a duplicated question, what can you do but give an answer that contains basically the same information, even if it's presented in a slightly different way. For example, these are all real Blurtit Q&As:
    How can you can reduce global warming?
    What Can Be Done To Prevent Global Warming?
    How can we prevent global warming?
    What are the measures that we can implement  in order to reduce global warming effect?
    Can Global Warming kill us? I want to know more about global warming. What can prevent it and can it do?
    I don't know why all these got past the Duplication Robot. But if you care enough about a topic to bother putting answers into all of these, there's only so many ways to say basically the same thing. Right?

    Ah! I believe that it's wrong to 'borrow' without crediting the original author or publication.

      I give my own answers but at the same time, review the other answers given in case others have the same answer as I have. If so, I may just skip answering or add what I can from my past expieriences. I will admit that sometimes, the answer I have ends up being a duplicate of what others have said but that is very rare.

        I believe you are concerned about answering at Blurtit. Out of the above options, the correct answer is C and D. That is your answer should be in your own words and it can also be your own answer.

        C And D are right options still people give duplicates resulting in cancellation of theirs questions and answers. Even then at blurtit it happens that you have asked your own questions and it is disapproved for duplication. How come anyone could know that this question is already asked.

          I'll give 100% honest questions. I hate it when people sugar coat things. I give you the answer you need to hear not what you want to hear. If i can't answer the question i won't and if i'm able to then i will. Just be honest and up front when you answer other people's questions.
