It can be said that the student version exemplifies paraphrasing plagiarism.

Explanation:

The contexts of the texts given above under the titles original source material and student version are clearly the same. It can be observed that most words used in both texts are the same but the arrangement of the words is different. To retain the meaning of the text but still make the text look different, the formation of the sentences has been made differently using the same words. Hence, it can be called an example of paraphrasing plagiarism.
