I think #2 is probably kind of cheating, because that's not your own thing since you ask others to do it for you, even it's a few. I think you can take their advice instead of turning all of their words.

I don't agree on the number10. Because I don't think that is cheating, he/she changes all the verbs instead of copying it. So she/ he still have to read the article and work on it. So she/he still can learn something from it, right?
