The number10, I don't think that is cheating. Because he/she will change all the verbs,therefore, it would be a different article. Also, he/ she will still learn something from it. She/ He still have to read the article and change it instad of copying it.
so in my opinion, I don't think that is cheating

All of your opinions are the same of me so I think I must agree with you.

The answers of 10 and 11 are different from yours. I think that is not cheating because he/she does not copy all parts of the article, he/she still change by his/ her own words.

No2, I think it's cheating because it's not your thought. The assignment have to be written by your own and your thoughts, not someone's thoughts so if you ask someone write for you, I think the assignment belongs to that person, not you.
