Its best to lift the lines from the passage given. But make sure that you kind of mould the answer to fit the question, don't just copy and paste it.
Furthermore, watch out for the own words questions, your supposed to locate the key words in those and change those key weirds with your own synonyms. Other than that, yes, you can lift.

ohk.. means if we exactly write the words of the passage, it doesn't make any difference unless we r asked to use our own words...
Is it that own words r more credited????

Own words are only credited in the 'own words' questions. Otherwise, it doesn't make a difference if you use own words or not.
In questions that do not require own words, just avoid using them as you will make less mistakes.

Lifting lines is OK, but not if in excess (otherwise you probably get a 0). In own words questions, normally they expect you to find the 'key words' and replace them with appropriate synonyms. If you see the marking scheme you will get what I mean.
