Vocab Scan - 2

Plagiarism : The act of using someone else's ideas and passing them as one's own.
This word is generally used in violations of copyrights

Sinecure : A job or position in which someone is paid more in comparison to the little work he/she does.
Thats unfair, isn't it?? One has to be an ardent plagiarist for that.

Mercenary: one who is extremely greedy about making money at the expense of ethics.
Related words : rapacious, covetous, avaricious

Parsimonious : one who is reluctant to spend money or use resources. Stingy!

Callous : No feeling or concern about the problems that others face. Feeling no sympathy for others.
That makes me think of doctors who should be callous in nature, then only they can treat their patients.

Now fusion of above words in a sentence : The one who is plagiarist, has forgot all the ethics.He might be a beneficiary of sinecure, he must be doing so because he is mercenary. And if he is mercenary he should not be parsimonious!! He has to be callous too as he has not thought of the person whose idea he is using and passing it as his own!!!
